Filth
Irvine Welsh
@sarahrickett So, funny and unpredictable. If you haven't read Filth by Irvine Welsh, I think you would like it. It's about a rogue Edinburgh cop and it's both vile and really funny. https://t.co/tljZ7p07TD

Every Man a King: A King Oliver Novel
Walter Mosley
Another wonderful evening in NYC as the great Walter Mosley talked about writing and his new book, Every Man A King, at @TheMysterious. I will write about some of the things Walter said on my Substack page this weekend. https://t.co/ORlZfm5B66

Paper Lion: Confessions of a Last-String Quarterback
George Plimpton
Stefan Fatsis walked in George Plimpton's footsteps to do a modern version of Paper Lion by trying out as a kicker for the Denver Broncos, and he did an amazing job taking a modern look at the inside workings of a football team. https://t.co/Grm7PtphsS

Loose Balls: The Short, Wild Life of the American Basketball Association
Terry Pluto
@bijancbayne @LukeEpplin @davidmaraniss Breaks of the Game, The City Game, Foul and A Sense of Where You Are would have been my choices. I'm sure people mentioned Loose Balls by Terry Pluto as well. McCallum had extraordinary access for 7 Seconds or Less, and Raw Recruits by Armen Keteyian and Alexander Wolff is great.

Tough Jews: Fathers, Sons, and Gangster Dreams
Rich Cohen
@StevenRomick6 It's a terrific book. Rich Cohen is an amazing writer. He wrote another book about Jewish gangsters called Tough Jews which is phenomenal.

Rozelle: A Biography
Jerry Izenberg
@delspacefranco There have been a few books written on Rozelle. Jerry Izenberg wrote one. But Michael MacCambridge's book has a lot of Rozelle in it, and is really an incredible book.
