One title on the list:Horse Heaven, by Jane SmileyRead about the other books on the list.
Jane Smiley describes the world of horse-racing in almost anthropological detail. She sheds light on a world full of intrigue, danger, risk, and gambling, and while the people may be fascinating enough, it is her loving description of the horses that makes this book a keeper. You'll be cheering for every horse and will never watch a horse race in the same way again.
--Marshal Zeringue
