Brave Dragons: A Chinese Basketball Team, an American Coach, and Two Cultures Clashing
by Jim Yardley
read in February, 2012

My rating:

| Brave Dragon is a very fun book and a wonderful way to learn how very ambitious China is and how differently it pursues hopes and dreams. It's a book of cultural anthropology disguised as Bad News Bears on Far East Hardwood. Bob Weiss is a wonderful...more | |

Love Goes to Buildings on Fire: Five Years in New York That Changed Music Forever

| Handsome, authoritative look at how closely intertwined organized crime and politicians were in horse racing in New York. It was a crime industry much like waste management was here 100 years later. Should be part of any horse lover's library. | |
