30. Richard Roeper "Sox and the City"
I am a Richard Roeper fan. I've read his columns since grade school and have always enjoyed them. I think I'm in the minority among people my age that enjoy Roeper.
This half memoir, half love letter is about the 2005 Chicago White Sox and the other Sox teams Roeper loved. He writes about his parents first date, at a Sox game, attending Disco Demolition as a preteen, placing money on the Sox going all the way in Vegas every year and why Cubs fans should thank the Sox for Harry Caray. If you're a Sox fan you'll love the book. If you like reading about baseball, you should like the book. If you don't care about the Sox or Chicago or baseball and aren't romantic about the game, stay away.
