The Blind Side

I am referring to The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game by Michael Lewis. This is really a fantastic book.  Of Lewis' works, I've only read Moneyball and this one, but whenever I read Micheal Lewis I am quite surprised at how much he gets you to really care about the characters that populate the story.  It's almost like reading fiction.  It's also telling that with either books, you don't really have to know (or care) one whit about baseball (for Moneyball) or football (for The Blind Side) to enjoy the narrative.  You find yourself rooting for that plucky underdog anyway.

I've really got to take a look at his non-sports-related books, because I am quite sure that they are equally fascinating.
