A...Paige, I'm so glad to hear that - thank you! And that's such an amazing story about the author - wow! He's so talented. Unfortunately, I never ended up finishing the book but that was more of a circumstantial decision than anything - I was enjoying it but got so busy at a certain point that I had to put it down. Haven't gotten to picking it up again, but I'd love to someday soon!Shokohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09495498049737713342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-106240052718063308.post-15067634776286302152013-03-18T23:27:15.905-04:002013-03-18T23:27:15.905-04:00I just found your blog, and am having fun clicking...I just found your blog, and am having fun clicking around ::: I know this is an old post, but how did you like The Art of Fielding? <br /><br />I live in Charlottesville, VA and this handsome, polite guy used to come into the restaurant where I was working pretty often a few years back... and then last fall I picked up a copy of The Art of Fielding at LAX, and mid-read en route to Australia the bell went off, and I realized why the author's pic looked so familiar. Same cute boy with nice manners and (as I found out) strong writing skills, haha. Such a pleasant combo.Paigehttp://dontpointyourfeet.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-106240052718063308.post-71379220505206100262011-10-10T21:48:47.658-04:002011-10-10T21:48:47.658-04:00Plum Girl - I totally know what you mean.
