ESPN: The Ultimate Pro Football Guide
For the past month or two in class I have been reading the ESPN: The Ultimate Pro Football Guide by Shelly Youngblut. The book was very interesting and I enjoyed reading about all the NFL teams. I learned a lot about the teams' history, I also learned a little more about my favorite team, the New York Giants. Now I can be more knowledgeable about the teams I watch on t.v. and be a better fan. The book was also very unique by going through all the teams one by one. For each team the author wrote about the teams history, stadium, nearby attractions, and the top players for the team. Also it had all the teams rivalries and what games to watch. I would recommend this book to any fan of Pro Football so they can learn more about their team.

The Accidental Billionaires
Recently I began the reading the book, The Accidental Billionaires by Ben Mezrich. The book is about the interesting tale of the creation of Facebook. It all began at one of the most prestigious universities in the country, Harvard. Mark Zuckerberg was the founder and the book just tells the story of everything that went on and all of the people involved. The author tells the story in an outsiders perspective with no bias, he just states the facts. So far the book is extreemly intersting and I can't wait to get back to reading it. Iv'e read about the crazy and scandolous stories of Mark Zuckerburg and Eduardo Saverin in their Harvard dorms. I'm interested to see how the book ends because I read somewhere that there were some llegel battles over Facebook and who the reall owner should be. By my next post I should be done because I'm really enjoying this book.
