My Top Books of 2009
January 6th, 2010I thought I would look back at the reviews that I wrote in 2009 and see which books were my favorite. So that’s what you’ve got below:
Columbine by Dave Cullen – This is probably the best non-fiction book I have ever read. It is wonderfully written and was picked on a lot of “Best of 2009″ lists. None as important as mine of course!
The Machine by Joe Posnanski – This was a fantastically written book about the 1975 Cincinnati Reds. This is probably a somewhat limited market…but Posnanski is a fantastic writer. Easily the best sportswriter out there right now.
Drunkard by Neil Steinberg – This was a very well written memoir of the struggle of an alcoholic. Very good read…though be prepared to be sad.
Home Game by Michael Lewis – Just because I like every book he writers. This was no exception!
Follow the Roar by Bob Smiley – This is a book about Tiger Woods’ 2008 golf season. The book is even more interesting now because you have to try to figure out exactly when Woods was having his various trysts. I don’t know how he fit them in his schedule!

Columbine made my list, too (thanks to you, since I picked it up after reading your review!).
