I heard from several people that this book was really good even if you don't like baseball, and I will affirm: I do not like baseball (the ostensible topic of The Art of Fielding) but I did like this book. Hurrah!It reminded me a lot of [b:The Marriage Plot 10964693 The Marriage Plot Jeffrey Eugenides http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1328736940s/10964693.jpg 15668403] but that could just be because I don't read that much adult fiction anymore and these are both adult books? And also they both take place in college? And both are about the themes of like... realizing your best isn't good enough and persevering and getting mental health help if need be. And stuff.Anyway if you liked The Marriage Plot you'll probably like this? And vice versa? I especially recommend it to Grinnellians and alums of other small Midwestern colleges. And I guess to baseball fans. Or whatever.
