Awww..... double post... I'm telling on you

I'm reading "The Art of Fielding" by Chad Harbach. I'm about halfway through. I love this book. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. It was recommended to me by my step-dad who knows that I'm a big fan of baseball. He said it was a great book even though he knows nothing about baseball. "What does he mean when he says he picked a one-hopper then turned a double play?"... I simply look at him with disappointment.

I adored the baseball action in the book but so far it has been the fantastic characterization that has stood out for me. Even the minor characters have plenty of charm. He's got a direct style of writing but in a way, that's what hooks you in as its also very intelligently written. Highly recommended
