I usually do these at the end of the month but then I went through a big reading slump March-May. And then I roared back but realized I was behind. So apologies for this being so long. There Will Be Fire **** A good, readable text on a moment in history I knew little about. Even after reading Patrick Radden Keefe’s Say Nothing, I still had a lot of problem keeping track of all the socio-political dynamics so it’s good that Rory Carroll makes it accessible […]

The Sense of Wonder by Matthew Salesses

July 10, 2023 by Jake Leave a Comment

Read as part of CBR15Bingo: Oceania. The writer is of Korean descent, the two POV characters are of Korean descent, and the book is about the experience of Korean-Americans and Koreans in diaspora.  I was in New York for Linsanity. Not a fan of the Knicks but it was an out-of-body experience at the time. You were glued to your tv every night and every night for almost two weeks, it delivered. Even my father-in-law — a lifelong Knicks Hater — was inclined to root […]

Blood in the Garden: The Flagrant History of the 1990s New York Knicks by Chris Herring

February 4, 2022 by Jake Leave a Comment

This book has been years in the making. And it did not disappoint. I wasn’t a big NBA fan in the 1990s. College was more my thing (Let’s goooooo Murr-Land!/clapclap). To the extent that I followed the league in that time, I was aware of two things: 1. Michael Jordan’s Bulls won everything, 2. Patrick Ewing’s Knicks were the toughest ticket in Manhattan. As I got older and read more about the league, I began to be fascinated with the Knicks of that time: their […]
