5 Books to Read When You Should Be Watching the Big Game

So, the big football game is almost here, which means many of you will be either attending or hosting screening parties for the annual sporting event. The Sunday of February 3 will be full of food, drinks, commercials, Maroon 5, and more important football! However, some people might not be completely thrilled about the athletic portion of the evening.
