I have a personal challenge
@thestorygraph to read 40 nonfiction books this year and needed to find another 6 to complete it. So I am DELIGHTED that this book has been made available on Kobo on launch day, since it was love of reading that first made me an #Arsenal Fan. Only 5 more to find now. Victoria Concordia Crescit

@ronsboy67 @thestorygraph @bookstodon Two things: how did love of reading make you an #Arsenal fan, and nonfiction go-to authors for me are Erik Larsen and David McCullough

I've been a voracious reader since kindy, and In the early 80s I fell in love with the Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy. The attached passage made me wonder if the author was an #Arsenal fan, so I wrote to his agency and they confirmed he was. Teen me felt the weltschmerz fit and thought , "sounds like my kind of people"
Later, Nick Hornby's excellent Fever Pitch cemented that with his very relatable tale of the changing nature of fandom throughout one's life.
