Socrates, Plato, Aristotle. The first free thinking unencumbered men! I am reading this book to try to be like them.

YOU MUST READ THE FOOTNOTES!!!! Some of the ideas and data are a bit outdated in the early section anyway.

Reading history as broad in scope as this makes humans look like piddling self important self centered knuckleheads. I love it.

A quick read to be sure. Here we have a cantankerous Frank, slapstick style expressing his opinions about politics, authors and people. I like it, but maybe not as much as the other three?

The voice of Frank Bascombe has changed a bit. This Frank has an almost slapstick delivery. Was the younger Frank different? I will have to reread the Sportswriter...

Wow, the chapter "pictures" presents a powerful one. Jack London was his own unique voice. Might have to use this for my next short story club.

What great read. I was daunted but the chapters are totally manageable if dense. Diamond does a great job of summarizing the contents of each chapter thus far in the last paragraph.
