I only completed one book last month. I guess that’s what happens when you start a 1000-page book. It’s taking a bit longer than expected.
The Art of Fielding by Chad Harbach
This was a recommendation for book club. And since Opening Day was a few weeks ago, it seemed fitting. The book isn’t necessarily all about baseball, but more about the lives that are affected when a standard throw to first base goes off course.
You get to know various people at this small college on Lake Michigan, when Henry—who’s been errorless so far in his career—throws a ball that doesn’t hit the first baseman’s glove like it should have. You see how the lives of students, administration and outsiders are affected. I thought it was a pretty good book and would highly recommend it.
I started to read The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follet and have gotten to the middle—actually 49%. Next month (assuming I finish it), I’ll go a bit deeper into it. So far so good.
13/30 books in 2012.
