In October 1997, the town of Ringgold, Georgia, was shaken by reports of a murder in its midst. A dead woman was found in Alvin Ridley's house—and even more shockingly, she was the wife no one knew he had.

Wonderful Courtroom drama
Revisado: 12-05-24
First I’ll say this book is not what I thought it was. Thought I was getting a “who done it?” true crime. This is not that. It is a bit tedious courtroom drama. With that being said it’s one of the best audiobooks I’ve listened to. The end is a heartwarming payoff well worth the wait.

I’ve been in this life for fifty years, been trying to work out its riddle for forty-two, and been keeping diaries of clues to that riddle for the last thirty-five. Notes about successes and failures, joys and sorrows, things that made me marvel, and things that made me laugh out loud. How to be fair. How to have less stress. How to have fun. How to hurt people less. How to get hurt less. How to be a good man. How to have meaning in life. How to be more me. Recently, I worked up the courage to sit down with those diaries.

In 1979, the self-titled debut album by the B-52s burst onto the Billboard charts, capturing the imagination of fans and music critics worldwide. The fact that the group had formed in the sleepy southern college town of Athens, Georgia, only increased the fascination. Soon, more Athens bands followed the B-52s into the vanguard of the new American music that would come to be known as "alternative", including R.E.M., who catapulted over the course of the 1980s to the top of the musical mainstream.

Athens Ga
Revisado: 03-08-21
I have family from Athens. Both parents went to clark central then Uga in the 70s. My dad worked at the Bells grocery store mentioned in the book. This book is a fascinating detail of Athens GA music/arts even food scene starting in about the mid 70s. Have always loved the allure of Athens outside of just the university and the football team(tho I am huge uga sports fan). Must read for anyone with ties to Athens or anyone semi interested in music and arts during that time. Thank you for writing this.

There is only one Wright Thompson. He is, as they say, famous if you know who he is: his work includes the most-read articles in the history of ESPN (and it's not even close) and has been anthologized in the Best American Sports Writing series ten times, and he counts John Grisham and Richard Ford among his ardent admirers. But to say his pieces are about sports, while true as far as it goes, is like saying Larry McMurtry's Lonesome Dove is a book about a cattle drive.

One of the great writers of our time.
Revisado: 05-03-19
Wright Thompson is my favorite writer. He doesn’t write articles often, but when he does I make sure to read them. He is not your typical sports writer. He doesn’t do Twitter or have “hot takes”. He transports you to time and place. Moments in people’s lives that seem to matter most. In this book he seems to normalize the biggest of titans in sport. He takes you into the lives of Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Lionel Messi and others. He shows you what makes them tick, what drives them. While also uncovering scars and flaws which make them seem human like you and me. He also tells stories of people I’ve never heard of previously like Chris rose, a writer from New Orleans and Tony Harris, a basketball prodigy from Washington state. His last chapter devoted to his father and future son(or daughter) will inevitably give you all the feels. I could not recommend this book enough.
