4. 《同惡棍在一起》 作者：比爾·比福德

Among the Thugs by Bill Buford

J Mikal Davis: It’s about football hooligans, mostly Man United, in the 1980s. It’s an American immersing himself in this subculture and just trying to figure out what these guys are thinking –kind of like Hunter S Thompson going into the Hells Angels. It could get hairy very quickly, but he’s made himself part of these guys and their world. I sometimes miss my stop because I get so into my books. I’ll sometimes get off at my stop and then sit on a bench to finish a chapter before moving on.

推薦人J·米卡爾·戴維斯（J Mikal Davis）：這本書寫的是20世紀80年代的一群足球流氓，大部分來自曼聯。一個美國人走進了這個亞文化群，嘗試去弄明白這群家伙的所思所想——有點像亨特·S·湯普森（Hunter S Thompson）融入摩托車飛車黨“地獄天使”（Hells Angels）。這些人很難對付，但是他成功融入到他們的世界，成為其中的一員。我有時候會坐過站，因為看得太投入了。有時候到站下地鐵后，我會坐在旁邊的長凳上讀完一整章內容再走。
