Anyone in your life more into sports than reading? If they're into playing that's a good thing. If they're more into watching that's another. As such, we've put together a variety of titles below that may replace the remote in their hands, though they might not get them off the couch. Note: these books are not necessarily all about sports. But sports are present enough in the storyline or in the characters that we feel they would appeal to sports fans everywhere.
