    Book Recommendations

    The kindle is empty and I'm looking to find some new good reads. Does anyone have any good book recommendations? They don't have to be gambling related but sports related at least would be great.

    Many thanks!

    guys reading is a classic cause effect thing.

    reading a book isn't the cause for you being smart.

    reading a book is the effect of you being an antisocial lowlife.

    I would especially recommend Ken Follett's Century Trilogy: Fall of Giants/Winter of the World/Edge of Eternity. Bacically WW1, WW2, Cold War.

    If you wanna go back further in time....
