Yes, all of that, and … his handsome looks and style.

These reductionist takes/questions — “appeal to men”— quite depress me. I give you credit even for responding. There are books for every reader out there willing to do even the most minimal search. And, just spitballing here, but perhaps “books for men” is the least helpful pitch/frame.

Yes.AND to have the catalyst for his inner peace turned into an iconic ad!

It will take MUCH more Braves misery to balance those scales. But it’s a start. ;-)

The feature I find most helpful is the one that lets me keep track of the Reading Challenges in which I’m participating. If the creator posts the challenge there I can track the prompts and my progress. I love that! Thanks, StoryGraph.

Among the noteworthy aspects is that it’s set in Chicago. Most books about the era and crisis focus on NYC and SF.

Thank you for this! You’re giving me reason to hope …. #LGM

Indeed, she did. Amber had the highest technical score of any skater and two judges had her first overall. Redemption!

Kazakhstan judge, you are not a serious person.

My God. That’s just … so, so sad. Another one chewed up and spit out.

Same. It would be a very popular result. Wishing all the women a great skate of which they are proud.

It does have a deliberate, thoughtful, quality to it. I also realized that, other than figure skating, it’s the only winter Olympic sport where you can see the competitors’ whole faces. That makes the viewer/athlete bond stronger, I think.

Impressive! I had to tap out after week one. It’s very cool and …I found I needed to add other sports to my Olympics “diet”.

Week One, me: how did I not know how great curling was? Who cares if I don’t understand the scoring?This $&@) … rocks!

Week Two, me: wait … they are STILL… curling ?!?
