Joe Posnanski wrote a book titled Why We Love Baseball, which I read a couple of years ago. I see he’s written one about football, so I’ll have to pick that one up at some point. I’m hoping he treats other sports, because I’d probably read them all.
I’m not in the mood for anything too heavy– we get enough heaviness and opinion on a daily basis just turning on the TV or going online. But every now and then a good bio comes out, like Jon Meacham’s And There Was Light, about Abraham Lincoln, and I am curious enough to either get it on Kindle or pick it up at the library.
Revisiting a classic every now and then is worth the time. I started The Sun Also Rises, by Ernest Hemingway, a while back, but still have a ways to go.
