The sports broadcaster shares the books that shaped his life and work. The Olympic Games Paris 2024 take place July 26-Aug. 11. by F. Scott Fitzgeraldby F. Scott Fitzgerald is a book we were made to read in high school and again in university," said Russell. "That said, it's a haunting narrative which has captured my imagination over the course of my adult life."
"Essentially, it's a story of hoping to belong and the fate of the ultimate outsider. It begins with the narrator learning a lesson from his father — a lesson I have always kept close to heart. 'Whenever you feel like criticizing anyone,' he told me, 'just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had.'""The book ends with an image of longing that has always fascinated me.
