I had a great time reading The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game, by Michael Lewis. I’m not even much of a sports fan, but this is a gripping book.

It’s a combination of “history of football strategy” (how the left tackle came to be so important), and “gripping personal story” (how Michael Oher went from the streets of Memphis to a rich private school to Ole Miss, where he’s a sophomore).

Nothing like my usual fare of mysteries or tech books, but I couldn’t put down this one.
