This one was pretty good. A little WW2 incident that most probably never heard of.
Second best of Zuckoff ouvre. I didn't know the movie had been based on a book. Good chit.

Grundle this is the second best sports book I've ever read (after the obvious choice)...GrundleStiltzkin said:
Don't know why it took me so long to get to, but just finished The Blind Side. Outstanding. I have no problem admitting I really liked the movie #NoHomo 75k. The book, of course, is must different. Probably second only to Friday Night Lights as the best sports book I've read.PurpleThrobber said:Anything by Michael Lewis or Timothy Egan.

Yeah, I should have qualified that as "football book." Boys in the Boat was amazing.YellowSnow said:

The Bear was a beast.

People forget that Jim Owens learned at the knee of the Bear as an assistant on that team. It's what changed West Coast football into a rugged Rose Bowl winning team and conference. The end of single platoon doomed this approach but coaches did all sorts of stupid stuff like no water for years after.PurpleThrobber said:

The Throbber remembers taking salt tablets like that was a good thing. Big ass tubs of salt pills laying around the locker room.RaceBannon said:

Malazan book of the fallen

Nobody has more of an eye for the fucked up than Chuck Palahniuk, who's quickly passing Ken Kesey as the most accomplished Quook author.
81% of this message bored would be well served by reading this book, even though it's the least funny book about funny people ever.

All Sherman Alexie’s books are solid.
The last one about his fractured relationship with his mom made The Throbber cry. Like a bitch.
He’s probably about off his self imposed #metoo exile.
