This might be my very favorite post I’ve ever read on this forum.

The Boys of Riverside: A Deaf Football Team and a Quest for Glory. I learned so much about the deaf community. It was a terrific book.

Not book-related, but I just learned this yesterday from a Ghosts of DC email, and I thought it was cool: the “huddle” in football was invented by the college football team at Gallaudet. They didn’t want the other teams to see what plays they were signing to one another.

I don’t read much nonfiction, but I was wowed by Destiny of the Republic, by Candice Millard. It’s about the election of James Garfield as President and his subsequent assassination. Not something I had any preexisting interest in, but the writing is so good and it’s so packed with interesting facts and characters that it’s an all-around great read. If anyone saw the miniseries that came out by year (Death by Lightning), it gave an idea of the story but the book did it better by far.

What a great title!

I’m wondering if anyone has read something between us, by a Hopkins anthropologist about th current divide in America. I keep meaning to put it into my cart.
