The Color of Money

Walter Tevis

A former pool champion, "Fast" Eddie Felson, is back on the circuit and ready to take on a new generation of competitors. But to win, he must adapt to the unfamiliar game of nine-ball. The Color of Money is a gripping novel about high stakes games and the pressures of competition. This book is the source of the classic film starring Paul Newman.

Been reading Walter Tevis, and finished "The Queen's Gambit" (chess) and "The Color of Money" (pool). They are both excellent stories, but more than that, they do such a great job at capturing what elite competition (and intensive training) is really like.      source
