Hey, I guess even Amazon has typos. ...PRICE UPDATE:<br />Hey, I guess even Amazon has typos. Or some other glitches. I just ordered Perfect in their etc. for under $30, and I'll give my son a copy of this post and a promise for Christmas. (Also Madden 13, but don't tell.) <br /><br />It's one of those Look Inside offers, and look I did, finding further prooflets of the value of your Wish List, but there's no way I'm taking this to the island. Except that I could practice reciting Clay Comes Out to Meet Liston until I could fool the coconuts and seagulls with my impersonation of the author. <br /><br />Once again, The Widening Spell (TWS) makes its mark on commerce!granddaddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02668155652942615504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2176387186088706590.post-70714307000249391312012-12-11T10:13:43.018-07:002012-12-11T10:13:43.018-07:00I'm not taking this to the desert island with ...I'm not taking this to the desert island with me, but as soon as I stop blogging, I'm ordering it for my son who keeps up with boxing, an activity for which his peace-loving siblings and I often pummel him (albeit in a good-hearted, gentle, and loving way). What?! It's offered new at $595.11! (I couldn't wait.)<br />Maybe I'll find a book of poems about soccer. <br /><br /> Being the old-fashioned football fan that I am, I used to beat him gently about the header and fakes for having season tickets to FC Dallas games. But I gave him Eduardo Galeano's Soccer in Sun and Shadow. It's doesn't rise to the standards of every other Galeano work, but what does?<br /><br />And, while I'm plugging good writing related to sports and my son who keeps up with boxing, he frequently sends me absolutely great writing from grantland.com. Despite my persistent abuse regarding his tastes in sport. What a guy!granddaddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02668155652942615504noreply@blogger.com
