Joshua Prager- Echoing Green

It’s funny how you can read people. I was just sitting there in the Galloway mansion eating the cute little food and observing everyone. That is a bad habit I have. Sometimes when I am in a room, I just size up everyone in there and I imagine what I think their life is like. I had never seen a photo of Joshua Prager, and I had no idea what he would look like. But as I was gazing in the hall waiting for the writers to begin, I see this crippled man walk through the hall talking to some woman. I immediately thought to myself.. that has got to be the writer named Josh. Sure enough he walked to the front and sat down. I applauded myself for that rather quickly. When he spoke, I fell in love with his writing. I don’t know why I liked his book, because the audience was definitely directed towards older men, or baseball fans, neither of which I qualify. They way he wrote, and the things he put in to his book were spectacular. I really enjoyed listening to him. I was actually tempted to buy his book, but then I realized I didn’t bring my wallet. I thought it was very interesting that he took something he was so passionate about and not only wrote about it, but completely investigated it until he found truth. Although some of the things he revealed have upset many fans, as he stated in the interview this morning, I think his book was a very unique approach to the topic.
