Drop Shot

by: Harlan Coben
I love Coben's style of writing. He presents entertaining novels with a great deal of comedic style, that are easy reading. A classic humorous mystery, with twists that are hard to guess.

The Inner Game of Tennis: The Classic Guide to the Mental Side of Peak Performance

by: W. Timothy Gallwey
This book is about way more than tennis. The relaxation techniques and benefits it provides is applicable to so many other sports and life situations. It's helped me improve in golf, Jiu-jitsu, presentations, and dealing with people. Perhaps it may not have the same effect for others, but it's been great for me.

The Tennis Partner

by: Abraham Verghese
The tennis metaphor may be a bit excessive, but the story and the writing are the natural step from My Own Country to Cutting For Stone. Verghese is a wonderful story teller who only gets better in Cutting for Stone. The mysterious and cunning disease of addiction is explored in this book. As another book states, addiction is"...cunning,baffling, and powerful." The deception of the addict not only breaks his own spirit, but also the spirits in those around him. The reader meets the tennis player, watches and learns from him, then sadly shakes his/her head at the choices of an addict/liar.
