Pringle played for the Boston Celtics during the Summer League. No details on the contract yet i guess it’s likely an exhibit 10 or two-Way deal, but nothing confirmed so far

Who has read The Book of George by Kate Greathead? It reminded me of Stoner and Good Material, it was surprisingly gripping.
I devoured this book in two days (270 pages). I wasn’t expecting to like it so much, but I just couldn’t put it down.
We follow George throughout his 20s and 30s, spanning 2000-2020, mostly in Brooklyn. Privileged but troubled, your initial sympathy for him turns into intense frustration. Anyone who has read Stoner will recognise the passivity and inaction that makes the reader want to tear their hair out.
A lot of the Goodreads reviews say “we all know a George…” but I don’t think we do. I think we all have been George. George is what happens when we succumb to the most negative thoughts we have, if we don’t get up keep going.
The ending is what made this book for me. 10/10. Greathead’s prose is also excellent.

Forgot half the surgical equipment. Patient almost got put under for nothing. Naturally, the real victim here was his personal growth journey.
Guy forgets half the equipment for an actual fucking surgery, admits the mistake because the alternative is potentially fucking over a patient, and somehow retells the story like he crawled through enemy fire to save the platoon.
You didn’t demonstrate extraordinary courage and integrity, brother. You forgot the fucking plates and then told the surgeon you forgot the fucking plates.
The surgeon probably said “okay” and moved on with his day.
Meanwhile this dude went home, dimmed the lights, poured himself a glass of water, stared out the window and whispered:
“That was the day I learned what kind of man I was.”
