UPDATED: Check this out if you are planning to travel abroad to see soccer games.

All right, so I haven't had a chance to write reviews really (or about Superliga, sigh) but I have picked up a new load of books and I'll list them and then get to writing about them at some point, shortly:

Michael Chabon: Maps and Legends (nf collection)
Jesse Ball: Samedi the Deafness
Chris Marker: La Jetee
Rebecca Barry: Later, At the Bar (ss collection)
Ha Jin: Crazed
Ma Jian: Beijing Coma
Marco Onarato: Camorra (released here as "Gomorrah")

Simenon's "Trois chambres a Manhattan" is awesome.
Culpepper's "Bloody Confused" is the first book in ages I got halfway through and chucked. Fucking awful.

Would you like to join the Jamie Trecker Book Club? Simply tell me what you are reading and we can trade titles. I usually donate (most of) my hardcover books after reading to the Eunice Fletcher Memorial Library (a small-town library in my Mum's town of Hampton, CT) but if any one is up for a swap, let me know

Tolka Rovers! Talk about a glamor tie! biggrin

My cousin was interning at Chicago's NPR station and he would have an hour and 30 minute commute each day and he also read a ton on route. One of the things I miss about being at uni instead of home is that I would always have more time to read on a consistent basis.

Here I go in spurts jumping from one form of media to the other. Right now with the Celtic season beginning, as well as several American sports slowly starting up, I spend most of my time browsing the net for various articles or information as opposed to reading the stack of books I have in the on deck circle.

I funnily enough played cricket at uni, so if you know any decent books there I'd be interested to know. I also brought that and rugby to the camp I used to work at during the summers (and since their high school has its own rugby program now).

India is the team I root for, although I rarely get to see games now.

I may get back into the book cycle in a few days, I'm halfway through several and more are waiting to be read including a book on Errol Flynn, who apparently was quite the character.

I have been looking for different things on the beginnings of American soccer though books like this.

It's $45 bucks. I don't know if its worth it or not. Have you heard of it before?
