Hello, sports fans, time for another edition of your adrenaline-laced literary sprint, Books in 140 Seconds. Last week we pontificated on Brian Brett’s Trauma Farm, and this week we’re reentering the fictional world with one of our favourite books of 2011, Chad Harbach’s The Art of Fielding. Here’s the play by play of our reactions to this extraordinary book:
Read it. You won’t regret it. Erin and I both agree it’s one of our favourite books of 2011.
So a new year, and a new Books in 140 Seconds. We’re not going anywhere, but after almost 50 videos we may be around a little less often to ensure that we still make great videos about great books. Keep tuning in for all the critical commentary, yelling, and, of course, laughing at our own jokes you’ve come to expect. Look for our next video at the beginning of February. See you then.
Whoa. Loving the energy, guys! I look forward to this book. It’s come so highly recommended. I keep looking at it on my shelf but I’m daunted right now by the size. I’m glad you said, along with an HBG rep, actually, that it’s a swift read, not laborious at all.
