If you're looking for something fun, I highly recommend Ballad of the Whiskey Robber by Julian Rubenstein. It's a true story about a (really bad) Hungarian goalie turned back robber during the fall of Communism in Budapest.
For the hockey fans out there, I recommend The Ballad of the Whiskey Robber, an incredible true story about a Transylvanian bank robber who also played professional hockey in Hungary, and Hockeywood, a fictional story about a pro hockey player facing death threats on the eve of the Stanley Cup Final. I think you'll like them both!
Here is a book that has hockey in it but is so much more.
I don't know if it's quite up there with Game of Thrones for excitement level, but it's a pretty good read.
On a related note, great book if you haven't read it yet:
That is a pretty cool page and they should have brought this guy up The Whiskey Robber
