Sports, Travel, History and cooking. A selection from this week's supply.

The nice thing about buying books is that with every new arrival you read titles that make you want to pick up the book and start reading.

There is no subject about which nothing has been written yet I think. Also this week I will introduce you to some nice titles.

In this book, Sven Nys tells how he always wanted to be the best. Thanks to Sven Nys in particular, cyclocross has become extremely popular in Flanders. But this book is more than just about his sporting successes. This book is also about Sven Nys as a person and gives you an insight into the evolution he has gone through as an athlete and as a person.

Once you start reading this book you just sprint to the last page because the book is just that good. It is nice to read how he started his career as an athlete and what he had to do to become a top athlete. If you are curious, definitely buy this book
