I don't often read physical newspapers anymore, but one of my favorite parts of the Sunday paper was always the book reviews. Back in April, I started a list of books that had something to do with the Red Sox and seemed interesting enough. Today, I have two books to add to the list, courtesy of the Fredricksburg Free-Lance Star.
The first is: Interviews from Red Sox Nation by David Laurila. It's a re-release (the book was originally published in 2006.) The book is a collection of interviews with players, former players, coaches, people associated with the Red Sox, and some prospects. The book contains interviews with Phil Plantiers, Tim Naehrings, and Bill Lee.
The second isn't so much about the Sox themselves as it is about a boy growing up a fan of the Red Sox. It's called: The Crowd Sounds Happy by Nicholas Dawidoff. It's a memoir of a kid who didn't have the easiest life but connected with the Red Sox on a level that took him away from all of that. It sounds like it might not be the easiest read but is probably fascinating.
