I was recommended this book by a friend, and he has given me the lend of it. I was going to read it soon, so why not post it here? If its a book that challenges you, then this probably isn't really appropriate I'd imagine, so I dunno...

Book Title: Playing for Pizza
Author: John Grisham
Genre: Football drama
Synopsis: (From what I've been told) A self-centered guy has a nightmare NFL football game and as a result can only find work in the little leagues of Italy in the months that follow. He is embarressed by the standard of football & salary when he gets out there, but overtime he grows to like living there and gets accustomed to their unique way of life. A story of redemption & the many differant paths life can lead. It's a short book, and a somewhat light read. I think it would be good choice to get things going.
Your reasoning for why we should read this book: The appeal is universal, as It looks like a book that anyone can enjoy.
