to:
Who's Your Caddy?: Looping for the Great, Near Great, and Reprobates of Golf (Paperback) by Rick Reilly |
my rating:
|
||||||||||
|
recommended for: golfers, former caddies
read in August, 2008 
Charly said:
"Humerous and entertaining look at the fine art of caddying. Riley's irreverence of a game that at times takes itself too seriously is refreshing and fun. Entertaining piece if you are a golfer or ever carried as a caddie.

"This was something I was supposed to read a long time ago. Interesting piece, fantasy or sci fi, I'm not sure. Not jumping into my top tenlist but entertaining.

read in June, 2008
Charly said:
"I thought it was an interesting piece. Seemed like one of those things I should have read back in school, but didn't get around to. She surely does shoe how fragile a thing sannity can be.

Slaughterhouse-Five (Paperback) by Kurt Vonnegut |
my rating:

recommended for: die hard KV fans only
read in April, 2008
Charly said:
