Play Book Tag discussion

If you read through this you will find some very interesting parts, but much of it is as dry as dust--I cared less and less as I read through the book. Also, some of his friends are not public figures I admire. Now it's true that this book was written before Roman Polanski's sexual abuse of a minor case came out (I doubt he'd have been able to plead off to such a minor offense this year with the #metoo movement, but it's hard to say) and I am not a fan of either Playboy or Hugh Hefner, although I realize that not everyone shares my opinion. Etc.

What I did like about him is that even though he exhibits some of the common sexism of a man of his generation that was still openly talked about in 1969, he clearly cared (and still cares, since I looked him up) about his wife and was encouraging her to be more independent than she'd been raised, so I suspect that he may well have evolved into a non-sexist man, but this is just a guess.

Much of this diary book is boring, but he did talk about a few things I haven't read as well explained by other racers about how he got into the zone and a few other things. In the first part of the book I was relieved to not have to read about how a car felt, etc, etc, but that eventually came.
