Kyle's Picks

This book was written by my all time favorite reporter – Sal Paolantonio. This book opened my eyes to why men are so excited by the sport – American Men in particular. This book gives an easy to understand explanation of how Football has helped to define American Culture. It also takes popular culture references and gives parallels to the sport. The heroes in football can be likened to popular male heroes like Luke Skywalker.  The excitement of gaining territory on the field is a parallel to basic human nature of pursuing property and looking for the next adventure. This book is a great read especially for those interested in psychology and history.

If E! Entertainment didn’t sell you on Chelsea Handler’s comic genius then this book certainly will. Each chapter is a different story from Chelsea’s past that is described with such hilarity that you are forced to giggle out loud while reading. My personal favorite is her recount of the summer she spent as an entrepreneurial  teenager on Martha’s Vineyard. Her wit and flawless writing makes your palms sweat as you wait to hear the outcome of each story. You will be sad when the book is over, but… not to fret, her second book, My Life Horizontal is just as funny!
