The Match: The Day the Game of Golf Changed Forever55 reviews
Mark Frost

Hyperion, 2007

A great read for golf history
This little book is packed with history of the game of golf. The Match was the perfect vehicle to present the six characters who make this event come to life. Thanks for introducing me to Harvie Ward. To anyone who plays, loves, and/or enjoys this game you must take the few hours it takes to read this compelling story. 		  
  







  
  
Into Thin Air: A Personal Account of the Mt. Everest Disaster1468 reviews
Jon Krakauer

Anchor, 1999

Killer read and a testament to the human spirit!
I just read this book while on vacation in Mexico for a week. Talk about gripping! Each successive camp takes you higher and higher, as the suspense builds. You really get a feel for the determination and ultimate tragedy that drove and still drives people to climb Everest. Some people take issue with Krakauer, but you should give it a read and decide for yourself. PBS recently ran a two hour ... 		  
  







  
  
SAS Survival Handbook: How to Survive in the Wild, in Any Climate, on Land or at Sea99 reviews
John Lofty Wiseman

Collins, 2004

Good Book
I am a novice in this field and I purchased this book for instruction. I was not disappointed and I'm sure that the pages will be well worn by the time I finally put it down. Recommended reading. 		  
  







  
  
The Art of Racing in the Rain45 reviews
Garth Stein

Harper, 2008

FANTASTIC! A MUST READ!
If you are a spiritually and philosophically open person, looking for a beautifully written and deeply intelligent novel that delves into themes of transcendence, forgiveness, and even magical thinking, then you will love this book. If, however, you prefer a more rigid spiritual or philosophical outlook--or, if you are extremely literal and simply can't get past what a dog really would or ... 		  
  







  
  
The Best Game Ever: Giants vs. Colts, 1958, and the Birth of the Modern NFL8 reviews
Mark Bowden

Atlantic Monthly Press, 2008

The Best Game Ever
Mr. Bowden does an excellent job.. I was growing up in Baltimore at the time. He accurately captures things I remember, and gives enormous (and fun) incite into the rest of the story. 		  
  







  
  
Crazy Good: The True Story of Dan Patch, the Most Famous Horse in America5 reviews
Charles Leerhsen

Simon & Schuster, 2008

The Standardbred Legend Comes To Life
Talk about a superstar, fans used to say that the legendary natural pacer, Dan Patch, would stop on the track before a race and look to the stands to count the house. And from where this forgotten legend had come from, that gaze was worth its weight in gold. Author Charles Leerhsen brings to life the amazing career of this Standardbred racer who set his mark on the track and in sponsorship ... 		  
  







  
  
The Dangerous Book for Boys620 reviews
Conn Iggulden, Hal Iggulden

Collins, 2007

The way things used to be
Many, many years ago boys were taught this kind of stuff by their father's and their father's fathers. Boys are no longer introduced to this kind of helpful information. This book is beyond a helpful guide to knot tying and history. It is a well rounded piece of literary art. I have never read a book that teaches one how to build a bow and arrow on one page and how to treat a woman ... 		  
  







  
  
The Downhill Lie: A Hacker's Return to a Ruinous Sport21 reviews
Carl Hiaasen

Knopf, 2008

The Downhill Lie
This is a great book - for golfers...It's amazing to me how much of what Carl Hiaasen writes in his book that I can relate to. I'm a 53 year old "lady" golfer who has only been playing a little over 3 years. I have thought and said some of the very same things Carl complains about. Very enjoyable and laugh out loud reading... 		  
  







  
  
Quiet Strength: The Principles, Practices, & Priorities of a Winning Life193 reviews
Tony Dungy, Nathan Whitaker

Tyndale, 2007

Good Read
This book was well written and a good read. I love reading good books on leadership and success. Sports and Life always a good parallel. 		  
  







  
  
How to Really Stink at Golf4 reviews
Jeff Foxworthy, Brian Hartt

Villard, 2008

A very funny read for all hackers
This book is downright hilarious. It just about covers every mistake and error you can possibly make to give yourself the highest possible score for your round as possible. Foxworthy, is in his usual, sarcastic best in this book. It will remind you of why he was funny in the first place. However, the book is terribly short. Much of the book is pictures and the writing rarely takes up 3/4 ... 		  
  







  
  
Yankee Stadium: The Official Retrospective10 reviews
Al Santasiere

Pocket, 2008

Informative and Interesting
This book shows many photos and contains stories about the stadium which will soon be torn down. It made a great birthday gift for my husband! 		  
  







  
  
Arnie & Jack: Palmer, Nicklaus, and Golf's Greatest Rivalry8 reviews
Ian O'Connor

Houghton Mifflin, 2008

The King, The Golden Bear, And A Rivalry For The Ages
I grew up a member of Jack's Pack, having been born a little too late to be a soldier in Arnie's Army. It's funny how sports moments can stay with you. As I watched the Masters this year, in my mind's eye, I could see the Golden Bear prowling those greens. Ghosts of Augusta. This book tells the tale of two of Golf's titans, both their individual stories, and the story of their complicated ... 		  
  







  
  
Strength Training Anatomy241 reviews
Frederic Delavier

Human Kinetics Publishers, 2005

Simple and to the point!
If you are looking for a no nonsense book to show you exercises that target certain areas of the body without a lot of fluff, then this is the book for you. It is a great guide if you are looking for guidance on how to properly lift weights, or target muscle groups for growth. It is set up very well. If you are working out arms, you simply turn to the "arms" section and pick the exercises you ...

Starting Strength (2nd edition)91 reviews
Mark Rippetoe, Lon Kilgore

The Aasgaard Company, 2007

Not making progress? READ THIS BOOK!
I thought I knew how to bench. Nope. I thought I knew how to squat. No way. I thought I knew what an overhead press was. Negative. I have been lifting since college (I am now in my late twenties, so about 10 years). Only after I read Starting Strength can I say that I am confident with the big 3 barbell lifts: squat, bench press, and deadlift. This should be mandatory reading prior to ... 		  
  







  
  
Sports Illustrated: Brett Favre: The Tribute (Sports Illustrated)15 reviews

Sports Illustrated, 2008

How can you go wrong?
Gift for my brother-in-law, who is a former high school and college football player and now a high school football coach. He simply loves this book, like we all love Brett Favre. How can you go wrong? An SI book about an American Hero - it's a no brainer. 		  
  







  
  
Merle's Door: Lessons from a Freethinking Dog138 reviews
Ted Kerasote

Harcourt, 2007

The best of a thousand
I've read a thousand books, and most I'd consider good as I try to be discriminating with my reading. By good, I mean in the sense that I've been delighted, enriched, made to laugh out loud, and shown countless insights into living and this life we share. With no reservation, I count Merle's Door my favorite. No doubt the author's singleness, his passion for the outdoors, and his home ...

Patricia Schultz

Workman Publishing Company, 2007

1000 places to see before you die
My husband and I are planning a trip through the southwest this summer and found this to be very helpful in planning our trip. Also, learned of a few places we did not know about, that are close to home. Anyone who likes to travel should buy this book.
