If you had to ask me what the 2nd best book was I have ever read, I'd be at a loss for choices. But the best book I have ever read is easy, it is this one.
Honor, integrity, nobility, hard work and fighting with your last breath to be the best, the very best, is what this book encompass. The underlying theme is love, love for life, love for friends, love for tennis and love for family and love for the special person in your life.
I have read this book more times than I can remember and I still enjoy it and will read it again. Many times.
I have taken so much from it and am a better man for having had this in my life. :)
