The New York Times bestseller Now I Can Die in Peace is now available in paperback with a new afterword (and more footnotes) by the author"The Red Sox won the World Series." To Citizen No. 1 of Red Sox Nation, those seven words meant "No more 1918 chants. No more smug glances from Yankee fans. No more worrying about living an entire life -- that's eighty years, followed by death -- without seeing the Red Sox win a Series." But once he was able -- finally -- to type those life-changing words, Bill Simmons decided to look back at his "Sports Guy" columns for the last five years to find out how the miracle came to pass. And that's where the trouble began.The result is Now I Can Die in Peace, a hilarious and fresh new look at some of the best sportswriting in America, with sharp, critical commentary (and fresh insights) from the guy who wrote it in the first place.… (mehr)

Bill Simmons's writing is a little self-indulgent for me, but it was nice to relive the 2004 season. Best part was his footnote about Afleet Alex. ( )

the best ending I've ever read.... ( )

I'm a little over Bill Simmons these days; since he moved to LA he's completely lost touch with the Red Sox, and I don't care about any other sport. But this, published shortly after the Red Sox won their first World Series in (x) years, is the best literary celebration of that win.

If you don't know immediately and exactly what x is, you don't need to read this book. ( )

Being a big fan of both Bill Simmons and baseball I found this book delightful. I always enjoy his conversations with his father - they remind me so much of my son and I discussing our Arizona Wildcats and Diamondbacks. My only complaint about the book is the microscopic font used for the footnotes - I have old eyes but this was ridiculous and I gave up trying to read them about halfway through the book ( )

A very funny book written by a die-hard Red Sox fan. He is very self-absorbed and doesn't respect women that much, but it is a very funny read. ( )
