A wonderful book from a fine author
Where did all those games go, the ones I threw myself headlong into as a boy, a rawboned kid who fell in love with the smell and shape of a basketball, who longed for its smooth skin on the nerve endings of my fingers and hands, who lived for the sound of its unmistakable heart-beat, its staccato rhythms, as I bounced it along the pavement throughout the ten thousand days of my boyhood?”
— “My Losing Season,” Pat Conroy
