    You're lucky to have great choice of football literature in Scotland. I wonder what's the best football book you've ever read?

    For me it's Ronald Reng's Keeper of Dreams.

    I'm looking forward to hearing your opinions.

    Has any1 read Hornby's Fever Pitch? Great film was made on basis of this brilliant book.
    I heard that Americans are making remake of it but it's gonna be about baseball or american football... Blasphemy!!!

    Paradise lost by Jock Brown.

    Ex-general Manager bares his soul about the 3 amigo's.

    If Brown wasnt such a twisted * with two boulders on each shoulder, I might just have believed him.

    In Poland we have almost no football books, and we have to get them from Britain, which is quite expensive and it takes long time to deliver them. I'd like to have such great access to all Celtic and football books as you have.

    Celtic Minded
    Essays on Religion, Politics, Society, Identity and Football
    Joseph M Bradley (editor)
    Excellent selection of essays on all things Celtic, including the club and supporters' place within Scotland, the history of identity and how the club's huge pool of fans is sustained. It's not a panegyric to the green and whites but a thorough examination of the issues that surround this most worldly of Scottish clubs.

    Has anyone read that book? I'd like to buy it because it seems it may be a great book for a foreigner to understand many things about Celtic culture. What's your opinion?
