.....John Grisham's book 'Playing for Pizza'?
I read it on a recent long flight.
It's about a NFL third string QB who blows a playoff game, and his agent gets him a job with the Panthers.....................the Parma Panthers in Italy.
It's a fun read.
But don't read it on a empty stomach! The way he goes on about the Italian food........................ :wink:

Are you aware that was Dr. Seuss's last book published before he passed on to the great "Who-Ville" in the sky?

Oh, The Places You Will Go is indeed better.
My favorite Dr. Seuss book was I Had Trouble Getting To Solla Sollew. In it, the main character has troubles in his life. He hears from someone else that Solla Sollew is a place where you never have troubles.
He makes a long perilous journey encountering many strange obstacles and adventures. When he finally arrives at Solla Sollew, he finds he cannot enter it without killing a small animal that guards the door lock. Killing the animal supposedly results in eternal bad luck.
Finally, he thinks about the troubles he had back home and says. "The troubles I had back home are now going to have trouble with me!"
It's a great theme about avoiding doing a "geographical" in adult life. In other words, if you just move to a new town or a different part of the country, your problems will automatically go away. In reality, they don't go away. They just follow you to your new location.

Much better than Horton Hatches a Hangover, I thought. :)
