I just finished this book and I thought it was pretty interesting. The author uses the myth of Iron John to show how modern life has messed up the way boys become men in our society. I read a lot of off topic post that relate to bad parenting and I think this theory provides some insight into many of the problems in the world today.
I think football is one way many men try to get in touch with the "wildman" within. I guess the Hulkster's retirement means one more "wildman" will pass into history (sorry Navybills).
If you aren't into heavy reading you might want to get the book on tape from the library.
Any other TBD people want to add a review?
