Well done Mr. Brown.

👌🏽

Interesting twist of fate for our character...

Im forcing myself to read more fiction. Im happy i did

Its almost ironic and childish to feel this happy about finding a book like this at this point in my life.

Bad editing had me switch from the kindle to the physical book. Yes this is my favorite book, im happy to sound a noob :)

This is stunningly good, to think I wasnt gonna read any better books this whole year. Truly,Wow, I dont even like to read fiction and this deserves all the platitudes and praises it receives and more.

I used to work in the Bronx and I took the bus to get there, as I did usually. One of those times, I had a wonderful conversation, with an old Irish lady. Arriving at the end of my journey. She told me about a “nice neighborhood” that they need “good young people” like myself. And she told me about Woodlawn, as long as I was “catholic” i can move in there. Which although I found strange, I understand..now

This book explains a more recent turbulent time in Irish history, through the lens of paramilitary men and women. Pristine story telling Keefe really knocked it out of the park, with this one.

Meticulous and extensively researched ironically this might be.. the best book, I read this year.

“Deelightful”read, Gary Stevenson chronicles his journey from working class smart kid to successful trader for “Citi”. This is almost like Michael Lewis all over again, super entertaining.

This book is a fucking masterpiece, Im not sorry about the language either.With what almost seems to be photographic level recall, Miles details his journey. This effort reminds me of the Alex Haley’s - Malcolm X autobiography, so rich, so natural and so important. His life protrudes from the pages, the roughness all the flaws. Just wonderful. Thank you Miles.

Im about 50 pages in and, this level of pragmatism in politics, that JFK displays here, honestly reminds me slightly of what I read for Robert Caro’s LBJ . Super interesting stuff.. courage in politics is an extremely delicate and fascinating subject.
