    The Miracle of Castel di Sangro is a good read for a holiday.

    As is The Damned United.

    Once in a lifetime - the story of the NY cosmos
    Forza italia - Paddy Agnew a northern Irish journalist's view of Italian footie having covered it from 1981.
    Football against the enemy (Simon Kauper)

    Would highly recommend all 3.

    Inverting the Pyramid: The History of Football Tactics: A History of Football Tactics by Jonathan Wilson
    It's prety in depth for lazing by the pool, but I guarantee it would teach even the most knowledgeable fan quite a bit about how football has changed over the years.
