[The following is a designated ‘John-only’ to-do]

My first “sports” based book and, fortunately, far from disappointing. I was glued to this book over two days of 12 hour transit between Spain and Italy. It’s a great read and a historical romp through a tumultuous time in 1950’s America.

If you could care less about sports and for some reason are stuck with having to read a book about them I highly recommend “King of the World,” the story of heavy weight champion, Muhammad Ali.
