The novel has also been published and filmed under the title Ten Little Indians.

What is your favourite local ride? I've been trying out as many local bunch rides as I can lately, with a few more I've earmarked but yet to try. It could pay for itself by being my winter commuter!

I've been eyeing off CX bikes for a while now, their versatility in all weather conditions and trails and offroad means it's a practical investment. ![]() ![]() Although there were a few loose ends that could have been tied up a bit better, the fact that they were left the way they were only adds to the story itself. Luckily, my sister had recommended it and told me to keep reading, and I’m glad I did! The past few books I have read have all lacked in some way, whether it be poor character development or failing to wrap up loose ends. When I first started reading the book, I was intrigued but found it a little slow. The characters were all so lovable even if you didn’t particularly like or understand them. The book is broken down into thirds with each section being told by a different narrator. What a great book! It’s about a woman who runs off to a home for unwedded pregnant girls and ends up staying and raising her daughter there. ![]() ![]() ![]() When did a simple bargain become a battle of desire?Īmidst cursed castles, caber tossing, and questionable chaperones, John and Annie's wildfire attraction threatens to send their plans up in flames.

Before sabermetrics was introduced to baseball, teams were dependent on the skills of their scouts to find and evaluate players. Statistics such as stolen bases, runs batted in, and batting average, typically used to gauge players, are relics of a 19th-century view of the game and the statistics available at that time. ![]() The central premise of Moneyball is that the collective wisdom of baseball insiders (including players, managers, coaches, scouts, and the front office) over the past century is outdated, subjective, and often flawed. A film based on Lewis' book, starring Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill, was released in 2011. Its focus is the team's analytical, evidence-based, sabermetric approach to assembling a competitive baseball team despite Oakland's small budget. Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game is a book by Michael Lewis, published in 2003, about the Oakland Athletics baseball team and its general manager Billy Beane. ![]() |
