Reading The Book of Basketball by Bill Simmons.
Bill Simmons is a writer for ESPN who spends a great deal of time worshipping Boston Sports and relating pop culture to the world of sports. However, over the last few years I’ve grown tired of his columns and podcasts, but I’m really excited for this book. He talks with such passion about basketball and the book is over 500 pages! Any editor in their right mind would have had Bill shrink the book down to save money if it sucked.
I’ve so far completed the first 50 pages of the book and have found myself laughing out loud to the reference of having unprotected sex with your wife referred to as “pulling the goalie” and his meeting with Isiah Thomas at a topless pool in Vegas. The next 460+ pages I hope are just as good.
You can read #8, #9 and #10 as well.
