The Reading Thread

[Deleted User 863]

Just dug out my 4 favorite books I have, and maybe the only books I have ever read by choice/for fun.

1. Bill Self: At Home In The Phog

2. Kansas Jayhawks: A Year To Remember (inside the greatest season in KU basketball history)

3. Floor Burns: Inside The Life Of A Kansas Jayhawk

4. Beyond The Phog: Untold Stories From Kansas Basketball's Most Dominant Decade



Any other great KU hoops books i am missing from my collection?

My god did Jason King turn out to be a huge fucking weirdo.


The Releford book is good.

I haven't kept up with King...when did he turn weird?

Is the Releford book similar to floor burns?

If you want roiboi and older, there's Kansas University Basketball Legends by Kenneth Johnson.

Braiding Sweetgrass

Beak of the Finch

World War Z (way better than the movie)

Literally explains so much.

Free tip illy, read Malcolm Gladwell’s Talking to Strangers.

Think I will read a year to remember again instead.

I guess I am mostly surprised that Illy isn’t a near constant reader, given his vast knowledge about damn near everything

[Cascadia]

Illy, I've come up with a couple more books you should read.

My Mother Next Door
All Boys Aren't Blue

I'd also suggest Emotional Intelligence but that might be too advanced for you. The Malcolm Gladwell book I suggested earlier (Talking to Strangers) is available as an audio book and Gladwell reads it himself.

i found one that’s more illy’s speed, so that he doesn’t have to ask his wife to sound out the big words (and it’s also relevant…i’ll buy you tix yo the movie if you want, numbnutz)

[Cascadia]

One more, this was my favorite book in high school and still sits on my book shelf.

This also seems right up illy's alley in that it's about basketball.

On the Devil's Court by Carl Deuker.
