The Art of Fielding by Chad Harbach

First of all, this is not a baseball book. Yes, there are several chapters that describe a game, an inning, an event that took place during a game. But this is so much more than that. It's about relationships at a small college in Wisconsin, and many of the characters just happen to be on the baseball team. I loved the writing - very descriptive - and I can see the movie being made soon. And although all the characters were flawed, they were completely lovable - and I loved them all. I highly recommend this book. -June
