Books

The Bible

Foundational text of Christianity. 

A lot of my favorite writers were quite fond of this book either for its substance or its poetry, or both. So I went into it not just with an open mind, but actively seeking the magic that so many serious people have found in it for so many centuries. 

I did not find much of anything remarkable. What I discovered instead is that Christianity as it’s commonly known is substantially extra-textual and the Judeo-Christian literary heritage is a product of layering by subsequent authors.

The Bible itself, as a literary work, does not offer much. It has its moments. The Song of Solomon stood out to me, for example. But if you throw that much at the wall something is bound to stick. It seemed to me that most of the Old Testament consisted of measurements in cubits for the construction of various sacred objects. 

The New Testament at least emphasizes love and mercy, but in a simplistic way. No really touching moments.

Not inspiring, not beautiful, not recommended.

21 Cup

Precise exposition of the rules for a variant of beer pong.

Some games have virtually no stakes and are played for the mere joy of playing. Some games are high stakes and require very precise definitions of acceptable play.

Beer pong falls squarely into the former category, but when it becomes a cherished ritual among a set of bright, intense young people overflowing with energy, you end up with a book like 21 Cup. With cheer and humor, it gives a self consciously thorough and serious enumeration of the rules of the game.

One of my favorite parts of reading is modeling the mental state of the author at the time of writing. Between its dry, legalistic lines, 21 Cup tells a tacit story of a tribe of young men, flush with the power, joy, and optimism of their early twenties, bonding over the love of a simple game, which really just serves as a vessel for their mutual respect, fondness, and admiration.

Recommended for anyone whose life includes a warmly remembered beer pong chapter.

Hi Casters. I'm sharing a post my partner @rebeccak put out yesterday explaining what we are interested these days at USV
