Sweet, well I have a signed Texas Tech football of Vince's. So, Vince whenever you want to meet up and make the exchange, I am down.

Party Animals by Robert Hofler

Meat Market. its kick ass! by ESPN's bruce feldman

Just finished Stephen King's Dream Catcher-

This was my first Stephen King Novel and I will give him another chance. I'm not sure this was the best selection for your first King Novel, but for whatever reason it is what I picked up.

The story was alright, I'm not really into Alien Invasion stuff so it was hard for me to get into it and the book was about 300 pages longer than it needed to be. Entertaining at times, with some good characters, but it was just slow for me.

Beyond Belief by Josh Hamilton is the only book I've ready in about the past 5 years. I hate reading books lol. That being said, it was interesting getting to read about everything he went through and how he got to where he is today.

Just finished James Patterson's Run for Your Life-

Very entertaining read, really quick one also. It is the 2nd of a, so far, three part series that follows Detective Mike Bennet, a New York City Irish Cop, on his serial killer chasing escapades. I read them out of order (1,3,2), but have now finished all of them. If you are interested in a fast paced page turner, definitely pick up Step On A Crack- the first of the three stories and my favorite.

Instead of starting with the HBO show, the books came recommended to me- Was not dissappointed. If you haven't caught the show or the books yet, this is pretty much the Sopranos of middle earth. Everyone be dieing.

A little slow to start, tons of characters.



Super fast read and not what I expected. Patton Oswalt has some really clever, random short stories about himself and what its like trying to make it as a comedian on the road.

Witty and clever.

If any of you guys have a Nook, I can lend these to you.

Im almost done with

"These Guys Have All The Fun"
Its a pretty awesome read.

^^^
Definitely on the to read list.

Awesome book cover.

Its like 750 pages, its real long haha.

But from an entrepreneurial standpoint its fascinating to see how they literally walked into an oil company in 1979 and were like "Hey we want to start a 24 hours a day sports highlight channel, will you give us 15 million dollars?"

Aww, Schultze, 750pgs....look at you reading big boy books!

This is a big jump from see spot run.

The ESPN book was okay. Really tough to keep track of all the people responsible for making the network what it is today. Everyone comes off as a dick too.

I Just started it. Its really good so far

Just wrapped this one up, super fast entertaining read. It is a collection of pop-culture essays that was released in 2003, so it is a bit dated, but still worth the read.

If you enjoy Klosterman's work on ESPN or Grantland, I definitely recommend.
