Nonfiction Pizza Party
Hey, did you hear the BIG NEWS from last month? LeBron James likes to read.
The Tipping Point, The Hunger Games Trilogy, Shogun, The Post-American World, etc.On the way to his first NBA championship, he was asked a lot about his new favorite hobby and responded, "Reading has given me an opportunity to, just for those couple hours of the day or those 20 minutes, 25 minutes before the game, an opportunity just to read and think about something else and get a sense of what else is going on besides the game of basketball.”Now that LeBron has had time to wear ridiculous t-shirts and rap along with LMFAO in the club, the Olympics are starting up soon, so here are a few suggestions for The LeBron James Book Club, London Edition.MVP by James Boice: “The best and most disturbing sports novel of all time.”- Nonfiction Pizza Party. I don't know why this book didn't receive more attention when it came out in 2007. The main character is unmistakably based on Kobe Bryant and I really want LeBron to have the book in the locker room at the Olympics and ask Kobe, “So, um, are you crazy and what actually happened with that whole Colorado thing?” (What, too soon?)Twilight by Stephenie Meyer: Anyone who wears a t-shirt of his own bedazzled face, with vampire fangs, would probably enjoy the work of Meyer.A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius by Dave Eggers: Game 6 for Celtics fans.War by Sebastian Junger: That's just a good book. No sports as battle metaphors here.A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again by David Foster Wallace: More title jokes!Into The Wild by Jon Krakauer: Yo LeBron, if you want to give away all your money and live in the woods for a few years, Boston supports you.--David Bersell
