So I'm not generally a big reader of sports books (other than golf, obviously) but this one caught my eye: Fanatic: Ten Things All Sports Fans Should Do Before They Die. Basically, the author designed a year of traveling around attending the sporting events that he considered to be on the list: the Super Bowl, The Masters, Wimbledon, the Final Four, Daytona, a couple baseball games and college match-ups.

My personal top ten list would be a bit different, but the fact he was able to go to these events in one 15-month period is quite impressive.

Pretty good book. I am a little upset that Williamsport wasn't on there, but some of his trip choices are cool (Final Four and a Packers game). Some of his other trip choices were just not that interesting to me personally Daytona 500 and the Masters. The final two chapters of the book I found to be the best (Green Bay and Fenway Park). Once again if you are a sports fan and you want a nice casual read you will probably like it.

I read this summer 2007 after picking up a copy in Minneapolis at a PPL shop / 2nd hand store cheap.
It was good. I really liked it. It was very informative about sports and not the sport it self but the fans and the hoopla around the top events in sports. I'm not really a sports fan but it's a book I'll read again some day.
I recommend it, not just for sports fans but for those of us who are just on the edge of sports.

This book appeals to my list making self as well as my love of sports. Jim Gorant lists the 10 things he thinks all sports fans should do before they die and then he proceeds to tell the story of each of his adventures as he completes all 10.
I have to admit I added a few items to my life to do list after reading this book...and it refueled my desire to go to attend a game in every major league ballpark.
