The Last Battle

My first re-read of this series since childhood.  Mostly fun, but not as good as I remember.  Some pretty blunt christian symbolism.  Still, definitely a series to encourage the boys to read when they are older.

Laws of the Game 2008/2009
Fifa
ISBN none
133 pages

A pre-HS boys season re-read.

The Thief
Ruth Rendell
ISBN 0-09-949788-3
86 pages

Essentially a short storey.  Picked it up because my mom is a Ruth Rendell fan.  Didn't like it at all.  No empathy for the protagonist.

Coaching and Winning
William E. Warren
ISBN 0-13-140005-3
180 pages

I'm still not coaching, but this looked interesting.  Geared more towards the paid coach of US athletics, but lots of good ideas.
