4. 《同恶棍在一起》 作者：比尔·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.

推荐人J·米卡尔·戴维斯（J Mikal Davis）：这本书写的是20世纪80年代的一群足球流氓，大部分来自曼联。一个美国人走进了这个亚文化群，尝试去弄明白这群家伙的所思所想——有点像亨特·S·汤普森（Hunter S Thompson）融入摩托车飞车党“地狱天使”（Hells Angels）。这些人很难对付，但是他成功融入到他们的世界，成为其中的一员。我有时候会坐过站，因为看得太投入了。有时候到站下地铁后，我会坐在旁边的长凳上读完一整章内容再走。
