Sports rhymes with Book Reports..

..And for that reason and probably that reason alone, English premiership soccer players have started an effort to promote reading among British families. This effort includes soccer players visiting local libraries to read excerpts from their favorite books (no doubt to the cheering of two hundred drunk supporters. We don't really know what they're doing in the library but from now, they shall be known as "Librarooligans".)

Among the players' favorites are "The Hobbit", "1984", "The Da Vinci Code", "The Little Prince" and - to my surprise but joy - Jeremy Strong's "There's a Viking in my Bed". We can all relate to that.

(And with this, Ben Welsh's "A Blog about Books"-hegemony is thoroughly busted!)

(Interestingly, "Sports" and "Book Reports" also rhymes with "Snorts", but that's a wholly different story.)
