[QUOTE="Tabe, post: 79154, member: 342"] I read non-fiction exclusively. I lean toward sports biographies and political stuff. Here's what I've been up to lately: [b]Playing for Keeps[/b] by David Halberstam - Halberstam's excellent bio of Michael Jordan. Really good material and excellent insights but a bit-too-fawning in its praise of Jordan. [b]Straight Flush[/b] by Ben Mezrich - The story of the rise and fall of Absolute Poker and their cheating scandal. A fun read, I tore through this in a day. Not real heavy on scholarship, concentrating too much on the fast life the founders were leading. Also a bit too accepting of the version of the cheating story being told. [b]It's True, It's True[/b] by Kurt Angle - Pro wrestler Kurt Angle's autobiography from several years ago. Typical stuff for the genre. Not bad, not great. The Kurt Angle book is just a filler until I get this one in the mail: [b]Juke Box Hero[/b] by Lou Gramm - Lou Gramm was the lead singer of Foreigner for 25 years (basically) and this is his autobiography. Just found out about it yesterday and ordered it immediately. Am concerned at its short length (just 240 pages) but I'm sure I'll enjoy it. Foreigner is my favorite band of all-time, can't wait to read this one! [/QUOTE]
