Oh, enjoy!
Since mid-February the best ones I have read were:
The Long Tomorrow by Leigh Brackett
The Long Afternoon of Earth by Brian Aldiss (also called Hot House)
The Palace of Eternity by Bob Shaw
I listened to Blindsight by Peter Watts which SF fans seem to rave about and I really didn't like it. I think maybe I needed to read it at a slower pace and not in audio format to enjoy some of the more complicated topics in the book.
Anyone read this one yet?
Yay or Nay?

I personally found it (Draft Day) "pretty good". Not fantastic but enough behind the scenes stuff to keep me interested.
PH you're big into the entry draft/prospects (like me) so you may also find it a bit lacking. In that sense it didn't meet my expectations/hopes - but it's still a good read.
Definitely worth a read for those not overly familiar with the draft/scouting. Some fun historical stories help balance it out from being too dry (just my 2c).

yup, i did read it, and as YL says its "good" not great. i like Doug Mac, but if you listened to ANY of his Pre-release interviews say on NHL network, they already discussed ny of teh really good stories..that being said if you were to ask me for one of them, i couldn't recall one so....
if you're like me and like reading books from guys that have been / are involved in the NHL then its right up your ally. if your looking for a book you cant put down..look elsewhere
