I went through a period where I read this and a couple of books about Waco and the Branch Davidians over the course of a couple of months. I found Homegrown to be pretty interesting. I am old enough to remember McVeigh and the OKC bombing but was too young/indifferent at the time to really follow the story closely.
I just happened to be in downtown OKC a few years ago with sometime to kill. I started wandering around the area near the hotel I was staying in and ended up at the OKC memorial. It's pretty moving.
Started For Whom the Bell Tolls on a whim a couple of days ago. I am about half way through it and am enjoying it. So far I'd put it above The Sun Also Rises.
I think it absolutely was a combination of all three. His drop off corresponds with the OC change and him missing about a week's worth of practices after he landed on a camera guy in the end zone and had back soreness. So he was getting fewer opportunities in a more run oriented offense and was able to do less with the opportunities he did get because he wasn't 100%. That quickly led to him being disgruntled. By the end of the season, it was just an all around bad situation for him and the Bills. Not surprised they wanted to move him.
I read the Nine and really enjoyed it. it's a very different book than The Shadow Docket. It's much more focused on SCOTUS history and the justices themselves. It's been a few years, but i don't recall it getting too deep into any of the technical details of the Court's work like you get in the Shadow Docket. Toobin wrote a follow up a few years later called The Oath. If you like The Nine, it's worth checking out too.
Blanco’s Cafe in San Antonio this afternoon did not disappoint. Fresh onions were added shortly after the picture was taken. Not pictured: Picadillo taco.
