You, um, may have noticed that the Olympics are going on right now, so that’s the genesis of this week’s question, in two parts:

First:

* Do you or have you ever read books about the Olympics? About sports in general?
* Fictional ones? Or non-fiction? Or both?

And, Second:

* Do you consider yourself a sports fan?
* Because, of course, if you’re a rabid fan and read about sports constantly, there’s a logic there; if you hate sports and never read anything sports-related, that, too … but you don’t have to love sports to enjoy a good sports story.
* (Or a good sports movie, for that matter. Feel free to expand this into a discussion about “Friday Night Lights” or “The Natural” or whatever…)

First question - I have never read any books on the Olympics, factual or fictional. Not my style thanks.

Second question - I do consider myself a sports fan. I love NASCAR, WWE, and to a lesser degree - football. I’m not too knowledgeable about football, but I can handle it. NASCAR is my absolute favorite though. I do read books about NASCAR - romance novels at least.
