The Book of Basketball: The NBA According to The Sports Guy by Bill Simmons

4.0

Bill Simmons is, without a doubt, my favorite living writer. His ability to write in a unique voice that combines gut-splitting humor, undeniable statistical fact, and heartfelt passion for his subject represents everything I ever want to be as a writer. This book looks like a monster, but 700 pages of Bill Simmons is like 50 pages of David Foster Wallace on his best day (no offense to Wallace; I love him just as much, but sometimes his thought patterns can be hard to follow). I eagerly await the launch of Grantland.com.
