    I don’t know the song but I’d say you were probably right. Lou Reed is a character in the book so it makes perfect sense.

    Ah, perfect!  Here's the song- one of my favorite Lou Reed songs!

    Halfway through the New York Yankees - The Big 50. I'm friends with the author and it's a fascinating look at the moments of the Yankees, including their links to Seinfeld.

    That sounds like a great book!

     My pop grew up back east, was a life-long Yankee's fan.  In '64 we went back to PA and NY to visit relatives and Pop took my brother and I to a Yankees double header in grand old Yankee Stadium.  I got to see both Whitey Ford and Mickey Mantle- both late in their careers- play a few innings that day.  Neither played very well but I didn't care much about that--  seeing two of my heroes in one day was a huge thrill!

    I think he'll like it. It's a good mix of all the big moments, including stuff in that era. I've been following baseball since the mid-80s but I know a decent amount of the Yankees of those eras.

    This guy has been one of my favorite authors since his first novel. 

    Stoked to see that he’s finally getting a good paycheck (HBO money!) for this one.

    Looks interesting. 
    Question is, does the author use the word "Cthulhu" and how on earth do you pronounce it???

    I really dug these folks’ translation of Demons. 

    Curious to see how they handled the masterpiece.
