Guest Jimbo Report post Posted November 22, 2003 Anyone else read any of his books, or his new one "Basketball"? His book, "A March to Madness", which chronicled life in the ACC for one season is my favorite non-fiction book. I've read a few of his others, but I think his best are definetly the basketball ones... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MDH257 0 Report post Posted December 2, 2003 John Feinstein is a great writer. I agree that his College Basketball books are his best. I think his golf books sell the most, so he feels obligated to write about it. His last one came out in May and is called Open, it's about the 2002 U.S. Open. The one before that, The Punch, just came out in paperback. He said in an introduction that he promised his publisher he would write a golf book since nobody thought The Last Amatures or The Punch would be big sellers (They were wrong about Last Amatures).

His book Hard Courts is probably the only interesting book on tennis I've ever read. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
