the three books I am reading right now

I am currently reading three books, and love each of them.

They are:
Phil Gordon's Little Green Book: Lessons and Teachings in No Limit Hold 'Em. Following on thei successful THE REAL DEAL, this is a terrific strategy guide for players of all levels.

When Pride Still Mattered: A Life of Vince Lombardi. I was born after Lombardi died, so I grew up in the shadow of his reputation without experiencing it directly. David Maraniss's book is a concise, fascinating portrait of a man who played a pivotal role in shaping the culture of the United States.

Fantasyland by Sam Walker. I've been playing fantasy baseball for three seasons now and am in first season playing fantasy football. This book is terrific. Walker is a Wall Street Journal writer who, in his first season playing rotosserie baseball tried to win Tout Wars, the most competitive fantasy league in the world. Enlisting statisticians and scouts, and drawing on his amazing connections to meet with the actual ballplayers on his fantasy team and glean information from GMs and baseball insiders, Walker's book is a must-read for all fantasy players and those who want to understand the appeal of fantasy sports.
