Have you read any interesting - or non-interesting - books lately? Books are still a thing, after all!
A few weeks ago I picked up a copy of Wide-Eyed and Legless at a library book sale. This book is considered one of the most well-known books about professional cycling (though I must admit it doesn't have a massive amount of competition). It was written by a journalist who traveled with a British cycling team at the 1987 Tour de France and followed their adventures and misadventures. This team was not at the front of the peloton, so to speak - they were extremely disorganized and poorly-run (their owner apparently "forgot" to pay them, a scenario that I found highly relatable!). This book doesn't reveal earth-shaking truths about Western civilization or anything, but it was a fun little read.
