Finally, I read a whole book!

I just finished reading Andre Agassi's autobiography, Open. It was the first library book I was actually able to complete since Micaela was born - and some of them I even renewed several times before just giving up altogether.  I found the book really interesting - not because I was ever a huge Agassi fan, or at all really, but more because I love getting an insider's perspective on any exclusive world, and because I love tennis. It was very cool to read about some of his matches that I remember watching on TV, including the semis of the 2001 Australian Open when he beat Patrick Rafter in a match I tried to get tickets to because I was in Melbourne at the time.  It turns out that Agassi is a pretty interesting guy, and isn't exactly who the media told us he was.  And though I wasn't ever a huge Steffi Graf fan, I love that they are together and I really hope their marriage is as good for them as the book made it sound. Especially since Brooke Shields and that marriage didn't get the most favourable coverage.

Would I recommend it?  Not sure...the writing is decent and the story is definitely gripping enough (especially for the tennis nerds).  Might not be worth your while if tennis isn't your thing.  But thought I would share nonetheless.
