If anyone is interested in a “Star Wars/game of thrones/hunger games esque series, the red rising series has been one of the best books I’ve read. Highly recommend

Anyone interested in the Start of Baseball In Toronto Starting in Hanlon's Point try The Howleyites by D. M. Fox, a great read and some interesting names pop up like Babe Ruth, Carl Hubbell and Charlie Gehringer

My professional roles involve a ton of reading, so I prefer film/TV for fiction. However, I do read a lot about the band XTC (there are several books, ask if interested).

My read from earlier in 2026 that might appeal to lots of you is Bondy's take on the Brett "Pine Tar" game. Despite growing up a KC fan in that era, reading a perspective from NY was interesting, and there is so much detail on the setting and characters involved. I thought I knew a lot, but wow, I learned a ton.

I am a big time XTC fan. They are one of the seminal bands coming out of punk/new wave. I saw them live. They had a unique drum sound and classic melodies. I’m only making plans for Nigel Peter Pumpkin Head Generals and Majors. I’ve quoted them from time to time.
They are criminally underrated as are the Jam.
