Tobias Harris Book Club: What is the Sixers' bookworm reading?

Share

Tobias Harris reads books.

You may have heard this from Mike Scott, or you may have noticed that Harris is constantly carrying books on his way to Sixers games.

Harris told Sports Illustrated back in 2015 that he likes to read before games because it increases his focus level, and he's been known to frequent book stores while on the road, like when he and Matisse Thybulle visited Manhattan's Strand Bookstore in January:

With the NBA's All-Star week upon us, fans - and most players - have some extra time on their hands. You can bet Harris is using this free time to squeeze in some more reading.

I, a scholar, used some of my free time to dive through Harris's Instagram page, looking for photos of the books he's been reading since he joined the Sixers last season.

Below, you'll find the Tobias Harris Book Club, a running list of the books Harris has read during his time in the league, whether identified through Instagram photos or interviews, or by Harris himself. The book club will be a living document, which will update every time a new book appears in Harris's hands.
