I read Ready Player One (http://www.amazon.com/Ready-Player-One-A-Novel/dp/0307887448/ref=pd_sim_sbs_b_1) over the weekend and really enjoyed it. It made for a great (easy) summer read. It is super nerdy - the story is centered upon 80's videogames, movies, and music. The book has already been optioned for a movie but, to me, it seems like it would be a difficult story to turn into a movie.

Also, I saw an interview today and I heard that now that they passed the long putter ban, the USGA is now going to focus on slow play, including stressing its focus on local clubs. This a great development. Slow play penalties were stepped up at the college championships this year. I think we'll see enhanced enforcement at the majors, but I don't expect anything to change on the PGA Tour (as we've seen to their opposition to the long putter ban). The Tour is run by its members, so they will probably continue just fining the players at regular tour stops. At the very least, I hope that they would make these fines public like other leagues.
