Oldies, but goodies: Two David Halberstam classics:Playing for Keeps, a book about Michael Jordan and The Education of a Coach, a great read on Belichick.

Recently read Nick Santora's Fifteen Digits. Was a really good read. He's was one of the writers for Prison Break, has written a couple Law & Order episodes and one episode of Sopranos. Also created Breakout Kings.

Reading Ben Mezrich's Bringing Down The House again now.

Haven't read it in a while, but 4th and Fixed by former Denver Broncos running back Reggie Rivers was a really interesting book.

Boys Will Be Boys: The Glory Days and Party Nights of the Dallas Cowboys Dynasty Great read even if you hate the Cowboys as much as I do.


Romo: My Life on the Edge: Living Dreams and Slaying Dragons In case you need more proof that Bill Romanowski is one of the most intense people alive.


Jonesy: Put Your Head Down and Skate: The Improbable Career of Keith Jones Great hockey read and written at a 4th grade level so you can read it in about 2 hrs (or more depending on your own reading level)



The Abominable Snowman (Choose Your Own Adventure #1) Don't go to page 38 unless you want to die!

If you haven't read it, The Smart Money. I loved this book for many reasons but its a really good read in my opinion.

I actually just read the hunger games trilogy because my wife had it on her nook. As always, so much better than the first movie and the next two to come.

A great football book is Our Boys. Check it out. It's tough to put down.

That's Bill Snyder's favorite book!

In the process of reading Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahnemean .

Haven't really developed a real opinion about it so far, but it's about the human psyche & it's 2 systems (emotion vs logic etc).

Got put on to it by watching the author in a MSN video discussing risks and investments.
