books can describe a person, or can they?

omg, i had never seen this particular book rec list of his--i LOVE this, here are my thoughts

of mice and men--he cites this as one of his favorite books a lot and i'm just like jeez--i hated this book when i had to read it for 7th grade english, it's so fucking depressing, okay emo boy

tom's midnight garden--i've never heard of this but this sounds like the kind of kids' book i would have really enjoyed...something old school and quietly imaginative, it's sweet that he includes it

the making of modern britain-- "I have an interest in politics and history and I’m proud of being British" adfkad;jdfk;gkdlj this killed me... also "My father began life in post-war east London and this helped me to imagine him growing up." frank lampard go 5 minutes without talking about your dad challenge

A BOOK ABOUT ABRAHAM LINCOLN? *needle scratch* nerd alert! "Americans don’t expect you, as an Englishman and a footballer, to have knowledge of their history so it’s good for dinner party conversations." this threw me...i highkey love that he recommended a book on abraham lincoln lol i think when he said his favorite subjects in school were history and latin he wasn't lying

andrea pirlo's book...i like that he's reading it while playing with pirlo at NYCFC, that's cute lol

a crime/spy/terrorist thriller? "I love to read crime thrillers when I’m travelling with the team and this is one I didn’t want to put down." omg this reminds me of some other interview where he talks about everyone on the chelsea bus playing video games and him writing in his little notebook !

i feel like you can legit analyze these choices so hard hahaha and also if you know anything about franko they make a lot of sense
