Excellent book.

Also: The Miracle of Castel di Sangro and The Color of Money (fiction, but truly excellent).

Pretty much anything written by Dan Jenkins.

lol, Matt Christopher.

Is there any chance that guy wasn't a boy-hungry pedophile?

If you go to his website everything is written in present tense. "Matt Christopher is a best selling author.." "He is the writer young kids turn to.." "He has written over 100 books.."

It's really creepy because he died 10 years ago....

i like those big screens at bellagio, and the drinks are free too.

two great john mcphee books:

a sense of where you are (about bill bradley)

levels of the game (about arthur ashe)

i hate reading and therefore rarely do it but i loved both of these.
