Though my year of not buying books does not officially start until the New Year, today I got a head start.
Several coworkers have recently recommended the David Maraniss biography of Vince Lombardi, When Pride Still Mattered. The downtown Barnes & Noble had a copy but upon picking it up my instant reaction to the 500+ page tome was "Egads, that's a lot of Vince Lombardi!"
And so I defied tradition, placed the book back on the shelf and checked out a copy from the library on my walk home.
In the upcoming week I'll write more about my experiment, why I am doing it and what I hope to accomplish.
Stay tuned...
