The Games: A Global History of the Olympics by David Goldblatt

2.0

I hope you're not thirsty because this book is DRY. It feels more like a textbook with a "this happened, then this happened, then this happened" structure with very little narrative thread. Whilst he goes into exhaustive detail and clearly loves the Olympic Games, the matter-of-fact structure left a lot to be desired for me.
