You Cannot Be Seroius by James Kaplan & John McEnroe
) A Great book for anyone to read. You don't have to be a tennis player to enjoy this book. If you are looking for a book to improve your tennis game, then this is not the right book for you. John McEnroe talks about his experiences in life as a professional tennis player, as a father, as a husband and gives more insight into behind the scenes on the tour. He talks about other players on the tour, the politics of the game and the different personalities. The book starts out with tragic Sept. 11 situation in New York City as he goes into other aspects of the game and his views on things. A creative approach with a blend of personal experiences and views on life as a competitive tennis player. Highly recommended for everyone, especially if you are a tennis players. Warning... this book will not improve your tennis game, but it may effect the way you think as a tennis player.

) Anybody who is a fan of tennis or just J.P. McEnroe would be foolish not to give this book a look through. John McEnroe's life was one of great accomplishment and also a long and often hard battle to find himself. If he wasn't exploding at linesmen or throwing racquets(or obscenities), he was winning straight set victories of tennis greats of the time. He struggled through some tough relationships and eventually a nasty divorce. Through it all he managed to have three beautiful children whom helped him overcome depression and become an adult and loving father. He is now happily married to singer/songwriter Patty Smith and has had a couple of children with her as well. Get inside the man who changed the face and behavior of professional tennis. See through his eyes on every point he ever played, on the court and off. This book is a breath of fresh air and a must read for anyone, fan or not.
