This is brilliant, Gavin! I certainly read many of the Edward Stratemeyer series. I still have many of my “Laura Lee Hope” Bobbsey Twin books, and I also read “Frank W. Dixon” Hardy Boys books and “Carolyn Keene” Nancy Drew books. These were a huge part of my childhood and my early reading. Well done! I thoroughly enjoyed this video!😊

Thanks! You can now read a Bobbsey Twins in the “banned books” category!

[@BookChatWithPat8668]

@@GenreBooks23 Maybe that will be my 19th banned book.😳

The only two sf sports stories I can remember reading are Bullard Reflects by Nelson Bond and Invisible to the Naked Eye by George Alec Effinger. Ive read a very few bios of sports figures. My favorite non fiction sports books are Moneyball about the intersection of statistics and money in baseball - a strangely fascinating book. And Seabiscuit, the history of an unlikely champion racehorse.

I think I have Moneyball on the kindle - the film is great and I like the Michael Lewis that I e read.

I saw the movie with a friend who is much more into sports than me. I've liked everything I've read by Michael Lewis.
