For biography fans:
Instead of watching baseball, you might try Lou Gehrig,: The Lost Memoir with a biographical essay. Or perhaps 24: Life stories and lessons from the Say Hey Kid by Willie Mays.
There’s also Pelosi by Molly Ball or The House of Kennedy by James Patterson, if you haven’t had enough of politics.
If you prefer your politics historical, try John Adams under Fire by Dan Abrams, about Adams’ attempt to get a fair trial for the British soldiers involved in the Boston Massacre. If you like your politics fanciful, you could try Rodham by Curtis Sittenfeld, in which Hillary and Bill don’t get married and then what?
