Not sure about this cult your friend belongs to that devotes itself to a 170g piece of plastic? Just catch yourself asking, "it's 170g?" This may be the book to read. It does a great job of highlighting the things that make this sport the "Greatest Sport Ever Invented by Man." It also does a good job laughing at some of the things that make the sports participants worth laughing at. As if that wasn't good enough, it also gives you an overview of the game across the world, how it's communities are different or the same and how to enjoy the sport wherever you travel. So there it is, a must read for both followers of the sport and those that love us.
