    Anything that goes behind the scense of sports, or teams.

    Read a great book a long time ago, that followed the season of the Albany Patroons. Swear to god, that was the name of the team. George Karl was the coach, Phil Jackson was a coach on another team. Some players that graduated up, think Darrell Armstrong was one of em. Its been 10 years AT LEAST, since I;ve seen it. Would love to read it again, because being a little more knowledgeable about the game of ball, it would be awesome to read.

    My list would be pretty damn long since there are so many amazing books out there, but I narrowed it down a bit to these authors whom I have consistently loved through many works each.

    I'll always wish that Harper Lee had imparted more wisdom through other books, but since she did so much with one, I guess that will have to do. It's hard to say that an author with only one book is a favorite author, but that one moves me like very few ever have.

    That's assuming that she wrote that one.

    'Course Ralph Ellison wasn't especially prolific either. But if the list was favorite works, Invisible Man would be close to #1 for me.
