Book Clubs
Rammer Jammer Yellow Hammer is a book not just
for fans, but for anyone curious about the phenomenon of sports
fanaticism. Don’t take our word for it: have a listen to
this
review by Maureen Corrigan, the book critic for NPR’s "Fresh Air,"
who is decidedly not a sports fan but who called RJYH "thoroughly fun to
read."
If you’re a fan, or simply someone who has to live or work with fans,
RJYH is an entertaining way to understand the power of sports to make
people behave in strange ways. The book is being taught or has been
taught in sociology and psychology classes at the University of
Kentucky, Furman University, University of Utah and Syracuse University.
We believe that book club gatherings
about Rammer Jammer should be as much fun as the book itself. You get
the barbecue, and we’ll supply a jar of Bama Bombs, a reader’s guide and
a selection of recommended articles on the research on understanding the
phenomenon of sports fans. We'll even forward the mixing instructions
for a batch of Pink Panty Pulldowns, though we take no responsibility
for any misbehavior that occurs afterwards. If
circumstances allow, Warren is happy to join your book club by speaker
phone for half an hour.
