De kunst van het veldspel
De kunst van het veldspel | Chad Harbach
Westish College, een kleine universiteit aan de oever van Lake Michigan. De jonge, getalenteerde honkballer Henry Skrimshander is voorbestemd om een ster te worden. Maar wanneer tijdens een wedstrijd een routineworp van zijn hand verkeerd uitvalt, nemen vijf levens een andere wending. Henry's groeiende gebrek aan zelfvertrouwen lijkt zijn veelbelovende toekomst te runeren. Het hoofd van de universiteit, de eeuwige vrijgezel Guert Affenlight, wordt onverwacht verliefd. Owen Dunne, Henry's homoseksuele kamergenoot, raakt verwikkeld in een gevaarlijke affaire. Mike Schwartz, de aanvoerder van het honkbalteam en Henry's beste vriend, beseft dat zijn carrire in gevaar komt als hij Henry blijft steunen. En Pella Affenlight, Guerts dochter, keert na een mislukt huwelijk terug naar Westish, vastberaden een nieuw leven te beginnen. Tijdens het honkbalseizoen ontstaan nieuwe relaties tussen deze vijf onvergetelijke personages die elkaar uiteindelijk helpen hun weg te vinden. De kunst van het veldspel is een intelligente, warme roman over ambitie, familie, vriendschap en liefde en is de gedroomde entree van een groot schrijver.

bumpinthenight @LeafingThroughLife I received this book as a gift twice so tried to make it happen more than once and just couldn‘t - just wasn‘t as captivating as I wanted it to be. 1w

1. I started the tagged book a few years ago. The audio version is a bit long. Maybe I‘ll finish it this year!
2. I‘ve only been to #Wisconsin as a babe in arms, so I‘m going off of pictures and TV coverage. The lakeside areas look very pretty, especially Erin Hills where the US Open was held several years ago.

Happy Tuesday everyone! Here are the #Two4Tuesday questions for today. A huge thanks to everyone who played last week! Enjoy!

My answers:
⚾️ Tagged book is a fictional story about several characters whose lives are intertwined and is about love, hope, family and friendship. All of this is centered around baseball.
⚾️ Not much of a TV watcher but I do enjoy watching horse racing on occasion.

Trying to get back into reading #1001Books, and maybe shouldn‘t have tried with a book over 500 pages long 😂. So I‘m calling this a bail...for now (but not marked as such). Will try again another time. All the nods to Melville and Moby Dick are clever, though.

Instead, reading something more fast paced — “Recursion” by Blake Crouch.

Amiable Oh, I loved this book. 🥰 4y

I didn‘t enjoy this book as much as I expected. It‘s incredibly pretentious and overwritten, easily 150-200 pages too long. Some of the characters are interesting but others are underdeveloped, especially the only female character of the story. The author tries very hard to write a profound and great American novel, but fails because he‘s trying so damn hard. I hated one part of the ending quite a lot. At least the kitty is cute! #catsoflitsy

JulietReads Look at that cute face! 😺 5y
cathipink Oh man 😑 I've been saving this one for a non-baseball time of year, so that I don't miss baseball season as much. I'm sorry it wasn't good. 5y
KatieDid927 @cathipink I'm a big baseball fan and the baseball was far and away the best part of the novel. It was interesting enough that it held my attention and I got through all 500+ pages in four days, but, I ultimately didn't enjoy it. Other people do so maybe you will! 5y

This book was so good. Even if you're not a baseball fan, I think this story about college age kids (and a college president) might still appeal to you. I can see why it was so lauded when it came out, and I can't believe it took me so long to get to it. As it's been on my shelf for at least 5 years, this definitely counts towards my #MountTBR2019 challenge (15/36 for Mt Vancouver)!

I suspect this is a rather good book but I am clearly hung over from Black Leopard Red Wolf. Why? Because while I enjoyed much about this book—baseball, quirky cast of characters, drama—it isn‘t leaving much of an impression. It probably deserves a reread... So, as it stands a good but not great read &, dear reader, let this be a warning: love it or hate it, it will be hard to find something to read after Black Leopard Red Wolf. Really hard.

Need to go with something completely different—going to be hard to get Black Leopard Red Wolf out of my head thereby leaving fantasy unreadable for a while—so baseball it is! Picked this up on the recommendation of a friend and was then assured by others that it is a good read.

It‘s a wrap! The first quarter of #Booked2018! Love this challenge! My choices were:

🔸Olympic Sport: The Art of Fielding
🔸Body Positive: Hunger
🔸Unconventional Romance: Commonwealth
🔸Cozy Mystery: The Nine Tailors
🔸POC: So Much Blue
🔸Feminism: I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings

So now I can start planning the next six books. Love it 💜

Jesse: “I read a lot of non-fiction. It‘s hard to find fiction that keeps my interest. This story is about a college baseball star‘s life. There are a lot of twists and turns that intertwine people and events. My boyfriend and I traded book suggestions. He gave me this book and the Count of Monte Cristo. I gave him The Book Thief and Dracula by Bram Stoker. Our rule was to give each other an all-time favorite and the last great book we read.“

I don‘t know much about baseball but I liked this book a lot. There‘s so much more to it. It‘s about friendship and failing, about fear of one‘s future and willpower.

I can‘t help but compare this to The Throwback Special even though all they share is a sporting event and a more complex look at men‘s psyches. I do enjoy reading about men‘s inner thoughts. Overall I think TTS does a better job of displaying the complexity but TAoF is a more enjoyable read so far. Thoughts??

I chose this book to help me complete the year's Book Riot Read Harder Challenge. I knew little about the book before I chose it + didn't realise it had been a must read when first published. To a be truthful, I struggled a lot with this book. It felt like a chore getting through its 82 chapters, one I begged to be over on several occasions. It's not that it was a bad book, just an unnecessarily long one considering how little depth it had.

One of my all time favorite novels, this book is one that should be read slowly and enjoyed. It centers around the story of a rising baseball player at a small college in Michigan as he begins to discover the world outside of his rural upbringing. Almost everything about this book is perfect.
