The title may not do justice to the depth and richness of the story within. The narrative takes you on a poignant journey, exploring themes of identity, belonging, and the pursuit of one's dreams. The characters are so well-developed that you feel a genuine connection to their triumphs and struggles. It's a testament to J.R. Moehringer's storytelling prowess. Despite the initial misgivings about the title, the book captivates you from start to finish. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a compelling and heartfelt read!Indianapolis Web Designerhttps://www.theflexus.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5060047013304842896.post-63825846544767096632016-04-03T16:42:00.465-05:002016-04-03T16:42:00.465-05:00What's hilarious is that I read the book witho...What's hilarious is that I read the book without EVER realizing that the title was a play on the word Bartender!!

Be prepared to get intimate with the tough, ruddy-faced bartenders and barkeeps of Publicans (especially Uncle Charlie, who I have known in another body in my own life), and to put Steve's bar on the list of places to visit before you die.Top Recommended Website Design Indianapolis Servicehttp://www.nextflywebdesign.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5060047013304842896.post-65849967251684499232013-06-30T13:39:20.377-05:002013-06-30T13:39:20.377-05:00you've made me want to read the popular book I...you've made me want to read the popular book I've heard of a million times but not really turned on to.

But I did read the Agassi book "Open" (being a huge tennis fan too) and found it quite eye-opening. He hates tennis, took drugs and wore a wig during matches. Sort of sad to hear of his unhappiness. but he got Steffi so that's something. cheers. thecuecardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08870323589682197091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5060047013304842896.post-86154382057174140222012-12-12T12:47:11.481-06:002012-12-12T12:47:11.481-06:00Where have I been?
