Sports biography fans anywhere?

I'm sure you sports nuts have at least seen the "Agassi: I used crystal meth" headlines online the last week or so, a fact he reveals in his soon-to-be released book.

Even if you're not a tennis fan in general like I am, this looks to be well worth the read. Here's a few excerpts:

A Pulitzer winner ghostwrote it and it appears to read like a novel. I'm gonna read this for sure - a well-written account of the interesting life of one of the most topsy-turvy, up-and-down athletes of his time.

Paper Lion is an excellent book. George Plimpton, who is a great author, talked the Lions GM at the time into serving time with the team as a player so he could write about what it was like to be a football player through and through in yesteryear's NFL. It's funny at times and is a must read. I've only got to a little mid-way through the book since I'm working on two books at the moment.




For wrestling fans and who grew up with icons like Sting, Hogan, Flair and Austin, The Death of WCW is another must read for all wrestling fans. a GREAT book that takes you behind the scenes and why WCW went from the most powerful television show on the planet, to a buy out of its competitors, the WWF/WWE. Awesome read.



I'll be getting Hogan's new book as soon as I can. In it, it talks about his dark days and how he almost committed suicide.
