The Art of Fielding by Chad Harbach
4.0
Shockingly, I liked this book. I don't like baseball. That's actually a huge understatement. I find baseball tedious (which makes life hard for me in this land of Red Sox I live in). Homer Simpson said it best: "I never realized how boring this game is without beer.”
So when more than one person told me to read this novel, I put it off. And put it off. Because it's a novel about baseball, right?
Wrong. This is an amazing book about people. Their relationships with each, with themselves, with the sport. Yes, there is some baseball in this book. But it's a minor point. This book is beautifully written and I enjoyed every page of it.
