- The Boys in the Boat: Nine Americans and Their Epic Quest for Gold at the 1936 Berlin Olympics by Daniel James Brown. An inspiring look at how a group of ragtag rowers managed to best the world’s finest scullers.
- As You Wish by Cary Elwes and Joe Layden. A playful reminiscence of the making of the iconic movie “The Princess Bride” from someone who was there to see it all. (Click here for a list of books similar to The Princess Bride.)
