"The Match" by Mark Frost. Sorry Feinstein, but Frost is the best golf book author imo.

It's not a sports book, but I'm reading the Tao Te Ching. I'm kind of like the most interesting man in the world from the Dos Equis commercials when it comes to books. I don't always read books, but when I do I read something off the beaten path...

Book before last was "Survival in the Killing Fields", based on the Cambodian massacres of the 1970s. GREAT book.

Just finished Rex Ryan's (NY Football Jets head coach) "Play Like You Mean It". Good, but not great, book.

About to read Orwell's "1984".

And considering getting "Catch-22", which I've heard great things about.

I don't read much, but realize I probably should read more often before my mind turns to total mush

I read Hardball on vacation... Darn good read. I once coached an inner city league so it was extra special for me.

The Lone Survivor by Marcus Luttrell. It's the story of SEAL Team 10 in Afghanistan. Maybe the best book I ever read. Marcus is the baddest man on the planet. Will never look at the Navy SEALS the same again after this book.

I've been fortunate to be at a couple of events with Luttrell. He's a remarkable person and a huge baseball fan. Amazing book - I have no idea how or why this has not been made into a movie. It will be eventually I'm sure.

Marcus is an amazing person. As big as an American hero as they come. Nothing like a 6'5'' Texan who takes no shit. I did see that his story is being made into a movie.

Reading "The Hoosier Schoolmaster"

"The History of Witches"

"Death of a Colonial"

All fictional, I think that is all of them right now.

Nice Guys Finish Last (Durocher). Ok, it's a 30 year old book but I saw it at the library and decided to give it a read. About third of the way through and interesting so far.

Just started Miracle Ball by Brian Biegel and it is really good. I think that it was recommended in another thread.

I just received a copy of "The Card". Fascinating stuff, even though there is a lot of hogwash in it. It was interesting to read about people who I know, like MW. It was disappointing to see that the writer had given the two Cincinnati fraudsters a photo and any cred whatsoever. Finally, I'm wondering if Ray will ever tell the world where he got the card - perhaps he has, and I missed it?

Currently workign on "The Luckiest Man" about Gehrig... a great read, I highly recommend it...

I read three to four at a time. Currently I am enjoying The Killings of Stanley Ketchel, the Art of Fielding, A Flame of Pure Fire: Jack Dempsey and the Roaring '20s, and October Men.

I recently finished the Game of Thrones books; great stuff and eagerly awaiting the next one. I am now through 7 of the 8 Sookie Stackhouse novels. Also a lot of fun, and the stories markedly diverge from the HBO series within a book or two, which is nice. For the National trip I have the new book about Mickey Cohen, "Mickey Cohen: The Life and Crimes of L.A.'s Notorious Mobster" by Tere Tereba. Also likely to re-read an old favorite, "Stranger in a Strange Land" by Robert Heinlein.
