Soccerconomics - Stefan Szymanski and Simon Kupper: Published in 2009, this curious book on the wor


Literature and sport need not be at odds. There are many good books on sports literature beyond manuals, biographies and Liros history of a particular competition. As sport is a topic that I particularly like, I decided to make a list of the best sports books I've read:
What I mean when I talk about running? - Haruki Murakami: Published in 2007, after the Japanese Haruki kids choice awards 2011 winners Murakami is a successful writer and worldwide. In what I mean when I talk about running? Murakami reflects on the influence kids choice awards 2011 winners exercised by the practice of running in his personal life and as a writer. The Japanese take seriously enough the issue of running kids choice awards 2011 winners it has done several marathons (at least annually), a race of ultra distance (over 100km) and has even tried a triathlon. My personal opinion kids choice awards 2011 winners about the book is that it is fine if you like running then you will identify with many topics of amateur runner. Otherwise kids choice awards 2011 winners I think it's too slow and boring. Born to Run - Christopher McDougall: The journalist and running enthusiast Christopher McDugall published in 2009 a book in a very short time has become a cult book among runners. Especially among the followers of the new trend of barefoot or barefoot running (or at least minimalist footwear). In Born to Run, Christopher McDougall, motivated by their desire kids choice awards 2011 winners to stop getting injured while running, begin a journey through Mexico (along with other "crazy" kids choice awards 2011 winners runners) to meet a tribe that barefoot running very long distances: The Tarahumara. Why the best footwear injured me and they are more than 100km barefoot like that? Christopher asks. Personally this book caught me. It's very entertaining whether you run or not, it has lots of humor and stories priori implausible. Born to Run will motivate you in your workouts and maybe make you rethink the footwear with which you jog. You can see and read in Spanish with subtitles a talk to author Christopher McDougall. There is also a documentary about the Tarahumara and their beginnings in American racing. 50 marathons in 50 days - Dean Karnazes: Since I spoke of Dean ultramaratoniado Karzaczes all an extraordinary character. In 50 marathons in 50 days, one of his books, tells the feat of making 50 marathons in 50 consecutive days, each one of the 50 states of USA. In the book, in addition to his experience of doing 50 marathons in 50 days also gives tips on how to train, diet, race day, etc.. It is a book that has motivated me a lot because I read it a month before doing a marathon. Maybe if you're not a runner not too interested.
The rider - Tim Krabbé: Great book writer / chess / cyclist Tim Krabbé. First published in 1978 as De Renner (Broker), does not reach Spain until 2010 despite having great success throughout Europe and considered the cult book of Cycling. The rider tells the Tim Krabbé's own participation in the Tour of Monte Aigoual 1977. The story of the race, mile by mile, it's great. Your feelings and thoughts to pedaling pedaling. Choosing words that best describe the moment. Reading it one holds the book like a handlebar to raise a port. Additionally the book has several mythical refencias cyclists (Anquetil, Bahamontes, Koblet, Kuiper, Ottenbros, Van Impe, etc..) And anecdotes from his previous 400 races. You can read an interview with El País to Tim Krabbé relating to cycling.
Soccerconomics - Stefan Szymanski and Simon Kupper: Published in 2009, this curious book on the world of football you can answer questions such as What is the football fanatic country? What impact has the suicides of football fans? Why are blondes more players listed? Why Spain and England kids choice awards 2011 winners always loses always wins lately? Great style of Freakonomics, an economist and a sports writer together to try to answer kids choice awards 2011 winners trivia previous style. This answer comes from a thorough analysis kids choice awards 2011 winners of countless variables that initially kids choice awards 2011 winners appear to have no influence. Such as the relationship between dictatorships and glasses europe. A very funny chapter is talking about why the pull side shootout football players. It seems random but noting can be predicted well in many cases. Whether kids choice awards 2011 winners you like football as the economy, kids choice awards 2011 winners resulting kids choice awards 2011 winners Soccernomics you a very entertaining and funny book.
Pedaling in the Dark - David Millar: In 2011 came to light that this book stirred further controversy doping in cycling. In it, David Millar, has its history in 2004 and was arrested and banned for using EPO.
In its beginnings kids choice awards 2011 winners as his ideal was winning rider limp
