    If, by book, you mean reading material, I would recommend The Baseball Economist by J.C. Bradbury. It will make you think about the game in a whole different way...

    Yeah, but trying to get away from this daily grind for a bit, would prefer some non-sports reading if possible.

    Is Rita hot? If not, what she thinks really doesn't matter.

    Reading is boring but educational, I like action myself and if bored of gambling I go to hookers.

    Try the book "Gates of Fire" by Steven Pressfield ... It's about the great battle at Thermopylae and Spartans ... I'm somewhat of an expert on Spartans and their culture ... The movie 300 is pure Hollywood although very broad facts are accurate.

    i don't like fictions. so i agree with your comments 100%...the only way that i am reading a fiction story is so i can have something in common to say to hot chicks...otherwise, i stick to non-fiction.

    anyone can write a fiction story. i can write a new book every time go to sleep.

    Yes the movie is pure Hollywood, but I know they make it clear that the movie is very fictionalized.
    Still a great flick.
