There is a pretty solid chance that, in the history of Nebraska high school football, yours truly was the first player ever to take a book that was a part of Oprah’s Book Club to football camp.

Odd, I know, but during the summer between my junior and senior years in high school, there was about a ten-day stretch when I was glued to a book by Ken Follette titled Pillars of the Earth. From football camp—I remember blowing through pages in the minutes before I had to head to school from home—to a family vacation to the lake a few days later, and finally, on a trip to Chicago, at every minute that I had free, I pulled out that tome and continued to plow ahead.
