I need a list of about 3 good books to read this winter. I was thinking about Pete Roses' book (I was in the middle of 3 others when the book came out), but other than that, I have no clue what to read. I have read moneyball.

Any help? :-]

I've read Costas' book (It was ok), But what is "Ball Four" by Jim Bouton about? :-?

It's Bouton's (a former pitcher) reflection on the game. Probably the most "inside baseball" book you will ever read.

Somewhat more indetpth reviews.

I've seen king at every Red Sox game in Boston... Is he writing a book on baseball? :-?

Does the reading have to be baseball related?

If not, I could suggest some good non-baseball stuff.

Actually, I did hear something about a book being written about the Sox and I do believe King is the author. I could be wrong, but I do believe that's the case.
