The political book is Thomas Sowell's Affirmative Action Around the World. Sowell is one of the biggest reasons why I am a conservative, as my mindset changed after reading the astonishing Race and Culture: A World View. Although I'm sure he relied on Race and Culture to help him with this book, I am still looking forward to it.
My sports book is ESPN: The Uncensored History by Michael Freeman. I was browsing the shelves and it just happened to catch my eye. Freeman takes a candid look into the personalities and management at ESPN and how it became a juggernaut and a disaster almost at the same time. From the antics and offensive nature of Keith Olbermann to the sexist and raunchy practical jokes on the female members of ESPN, it's all in this book. I'm going to find some reviews for this book, if possible.
These books will serve as entertainment while I'm visiting the family later this week. If there are any other books I should look out for, let me know.
- Last night, I was going to add a scoreboard frame from CBS Sportsline.com onto the side panel of this blog. However, as many times as I've trashed CBS News for the CYA Scandal, I didn't think it was a good idea. Yahoo Sports's scoreboard isn't framed. ESPN.com doesn't have a frame. Neither does CNNSI.com, FoxSports, NBC Sports, etc.
Ugh. I hate conflicts of interests. Can't I seperate CBS Sports from CBS News? Can't I have my cake and eat it too? Being opinionated bites.
- I'm adding the 850TheBuzz blog onto my links list. Believe me; if you are a sports fan, you need to read this blog. I live just inside of their listening area, and they have a great radio station.
