Baseball's Biggest Bloopers
I was starting junior high at the time, and as I went to my sixth period class, I saw a collection of books as I entered. One book stood out to me: Baseball's Biggest Bloopers. I opened it, read it, and repeated...over and over and over again. I still have it, and when I have the time, I read it again. I absolutely loved this book so much.

Audiobook Review — Bambi: The Story of Life in the Forest by Felix Salten
With a preface read by John Chancer. Most of us think we know the story of Bambi - but do we? The Original Bambi is an all-new translation of a literary classic that presents the story as it was meant to be told. For decades, audiences’ images of Bambi have been shaped by the 1942 Walt Disney film - an idealized look at a fawn who represents nature’s innocence - which was based on a 1928 English translation of a novel by the Austrian Jewish writer Felix Salten. This masterful new translation gives contemporary audiences a fresh perspective on this moving allegorical tale and provides important details about its creator. Originally published in 1923, Salten’s story is more somber than the adaptations that followed it. Life in the forest is dangerous and precarious, and Bambi learns important lessons about survival as he grows to become a strong, heroic stag. Jack Zipes’ introduction traces the history of the book’s reception and explores the tensions that Salten experienced in his own life - as a hunter who also loved animals, and as an Austrian Jew who sought acceptance in Viennese society even as he faced persecution. Published in German in 1923, this coming-of-age story of a roebuck deer would soon become known around the world. Bambi is often seen as the first work of environmental literature, written by an author with a deep love for animals. Yet Felix Salten was also an Austro-Hungarian Jewish man in Vienna, striving for acceptance by the cultural elite. Just as Bambi must learn to survive alone in the forest, men lurking in the shadows, Salten had to navigate and endure the very real threats of antisemitism and fascism. Salten’s bestseller was eclipsed by Disney’s 1942 animated classic, which warped the book’s thematic intentions and watered down its literary power. However, Jack Zipes’s new translation (Princeton University Press, 2023) – published one hundred years after Salten wrote the original – brings Bambi back to life. By leaning into the author’s anthropomorphism, Zipes helps makes it clear: this “animal story” is equally an allegory for the violence and suffering of humankind. And yet, as we also see here, it is possible for outsiders of all species to find transcendence in a cruel but beautiful world.
