Faithful (Stephen King and some other guy exchange emails over the course of the 2004 season)
Subject aside, this might have been one of the worst books I've ever read. Stewart O'Nan (the other guy) kills this book dead. It's awful. Avoid at all costs.
For Basketball, Loose Balls, a History of the ABA. Maybe the funniest book I've ever read.
One hundred percent agree. One of the best books around.
A Season on the Brink by Feinstein is terrific even if his subject is a raging asshole.
Ball Four by Jim Bouton is a classic.
Ted Williams by Leigh Montville is perhaps one of the best non-fiction books I've ever read. It's excellent.
Henry Aaron by Howard Bryant is great.
Beyond the Sixth Game by Peter Gammons is well done. It gives you insight into a part of Sox history that isn't explored too often (early 80s)
Seasons in Hell by Mike Shopshire is funny.
The Worst Team Money Could Buy is funny too.
Fall River Dreams by Bill Reynolds is poignant.
