The Baha'I
I stumbled on this book in the sports section of a Barnes and Noble and fell in love with it. I had never questioned my love of sports, or thought about why fandom is huge part of many cultures, or why we use mythological language to describe it.
The way Andrew Cooper talks about sport in this book made me laugh and think. He explores it seriously, without being overly serious. I keep picking this book up and reading big chunks of it again and again and as I evolve as an athlete and a fan, I find new things each time. I LOVED the anecdotes about the running monks and the Steelers fan who left behind a note for a (botched) suicide attempt that said: "I just can't stand their fumbling anymore."
