So what’s your favourite sports book?

June 21, 2010 · 2 comments

Hannah Sung of the CBC wants to know.

In the meantime, we have this Top 10 to put together. I myself have just discovered The Global Game website, which I’m finding fascinating, and I’m reading through their book of the same name, which we will look at this month.

Some of you on Twitter have already piped up. @sit_walk has named Nick Hornby’s Fever Pitch, How Soccer Explains the World by Franklin Foer and Among the Thugs by Bill Buford as his favourite books on soccer while @Mark_Jackman can’t get past the fact that I’m calling it “soccer” and not “football” (truce?).

I’ll bet there will be a lot of soccer titles just because of the timing, but do give them visit and pipe up, eh?

I too like How Soccer “Football” Explains the World. Another interesting book is The Games Do Count by Brian Kilmeade. Stories of celebs and successful businness people and politicians with a common early bond- Sports.
