In broadening my billiards niche on Squidoo, I recently made two lenses just for pool and billiards fans. Sometimes, you just can’t get to a pool table. What if you’re stuck on a long flight or just have a long commute? Why not read a book?
Books for Pool Players: Biographies - Read up on some of the greatest pool players that ever lived. Read about their hustles, their highs and lows, and their championship accomplishments. What kind of work ethic and talent did they have? And do you have the same? Do you aspire to be a pool champion
Books for Pool Players: Novels - Maybe fiction is more your style. On this lens, you’ll find several casual reading books that have billiards as the backdrop. Some of them are total classics (The Hustler, The Color of Money); others are little known gems written just for kids.
No promises, but I’m working on a few more lenses for pool players. One idea is a list of the Top 10 technical pool books, books on how to improve your game. Do you have a favorite? Another idea is must-see movies for pool players. Any other suggestions?
