Reading has a lot of write choices

My invitation to attend this week's Beijing International Book Fair included a request to participate in a survey aimed at charting the reading habits of foreign authors.

Since all six of the non-fiction books I've written for North American publishers are devoted to the same subjects that dominate my library - sports and pop culture - my initial reaction was, "Who the hell cares?"

Still, once I got into answering the questions, it was kind of a kick ... until it came to naming a single "favorite title" that I would recommend to a total stranger.
