Toby Gorman is finished with Icarus Syndrome
Great writing and stories as usual from John Long. Many are inspired from his climbing adventures, but my two favorites, "Bone Marrow" and "Crazy People Don't Need Ice," were observations of the human condition and complex relationships. Long's writing thrives in his character development. ***Note: Many of the stories in Icarus Syndrome are also in Granite Mariner. I wasn't impressed with the redundancy.

Toby Gorman is reading The Boys in the Boat: Nine Americans and Their Epic Quest for Gold at the 1936 Berlin Olympics
Well written and researched. I really enjoyed the history and legacy of the Pocock racing shells more than anything.

I usually only read at bedtime, and with most books I read about 10 pages then fall asleep. With Albatross I've been going to bed early and have been reading 60-70 pages at a time because it's such a fun read.

Quintessential Helprin. A dangerous journey wrapped in art and romance. Loving it so far.
