Reading Suggestion

[McDrailers]

Hello you beautiful loungers.

I'm currently out of my summer reading list, i've been into hockey related readings. This week I've finished J.R's book as well as a fantastic read about minor hockey titled "Selling the dream"

I was wondering if you all could hit me with some suggestions in this field.

as a note I've read:

Jamie Mclennans
Jay Onrait's
Sean Prongers
J.R's
Selling the Dream
The Dany Heatley Story.

More of a coffee table book than a book you sit down and read, but I always recommend Sports Illustrated: The Hockey Book.

So many amazing pictures that make it worth having

The Bobby Orr book is great

If you're interested in sports science I recommend "The Sports Gene" by David Epstein

 

[JustGivingEr]

The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich

I read the Derek Sanderson book, which was pretty entertaining and insightful, but I just can't warm to the idea of reading Orr. He just seems to clean cut and wholesome to really spill the beans or tell it like it is (or was).

I don't read too many sports books these days, but I wants warts and all. Does Orr dish any dirt or cuss anywhere?

Yeah; much better to strangle a little more out of what life is left in this place by sending stuff elsewhere.

I suggest reading some real literature instead of hockey books.

Such as?

 

[Chris Hagen*]

The Outsiders.

 

[Goonzilla]

The Outsiders.

Seen it.

 

[John Price]

How to cook everything

 

[Chris Hagen*]

Seen it.

I didn't know we were talking about watching things?

I didn't know we were talking about watching things?

That's called a joke.

One person's literature is another's toilet paper.

The Outsiders? Seriously? Was that for school?

The Outsiders is a ****ing classic. I figured it was a good, easy starting point for someone who's repertoire of books were exclusively about the history of hockey.

Much better to send him somewhere he'd get a legitimate, worthwhile answer

I suggest a grammar manual

Sorry that I don't proofread my posts on HFBoards. Whose got the time for that? (Probably most of you because you're all unemployed friendless nerds)

I trust the thoughts of the people here. We seem to have a common interest therefore I may enjoy the reads suggested here.

 

[Jumptheshark]

I would suggest Robins Reads Today.Tomorrow. Yesterday. ShorT story where the main antagonist sits down at the age of 35 with his 15 year old self and his 55 year old self

 

[AnAceOfKidneys]

"Net Worth: Exploding the Myths of Pro Hockey" by David Cruise and Alison Griffiths...find out just how large an ******* Alan Eagleson was/is.

 

[Finnish your Czech]

The Outsiders is a ****ing classic. I figured it was a good, easy starting point for someone who's repertoire of books were exclusively about the history of hockey.

Imagine reading this thread and coming to this conclusion
