JoeF Posted September 30, 2005 Posted September 30, 2005 I just read Marv's book--"Where would you rather be?" this week on flights to and from the West Coast...it was a wonderful read. Might be good tonic if you are feeling a bit down about this year's fortunes thus far. Relatively quick read for a 400 page book. His rich life, sense of humor, wit and ability to motivate make him a unique man. I found myself chuckling out loud a couple of times....there are so many great lines and stories--an example..he was talking about Glenn Parker and how intelligent and thoughtful he was as a player and person...Marv remembers "Parker was unique--instead of playing cards or listening to music on flights to and from road games, he spent most of his time reading, reading actual books." The book was a gift from my brother--thanks bro!!!
todd Posted September 30, 2005 Posted September 30, 2005 I enjoyed it as well. He writes just the way he speaks. If you are a fan of Marv, you'll love the book. I'd love to send Chuck Dickewickey a copy to show him what a class act is like.

34-78-83 Posted October 1, 2005 Posted October 1, 2005 I've been waiting about 6 months now for my dad to finish it so I can read it
5THXIT Posted October 2, 2005 Posted October 2, 2005 I got Marv's book and also Tim Russerts book, Big Russ, last Christmas. Being a CHS grad I had to read Tims book first...... a great read. Started Marv's book shortly after and could not put it down. It brought back soooooooo many memories. I don't think a lot of us, most certainly me , appreciated what we had at the time. Great years that will probably never be repeated.
ShelfromNJ Posted October 2, 2005 Posted October 2, 2005 I also really enjoyed the book and recommend it. It would make a nice Christmas gift for your children.
