With Simmons, I knew what I was getting myself into. I've been reading his Sports Guy columns on ESPN.com for years now, and I listen to his new podcasts religiously. His writing comes more from the perspective of a knowledgeable fan and not from that of a beat reporter. And nobody ties pop culture into sports writing like Simmons. The catch for me was the subject matter. I don't particularly care for baseball. I really only watch a few games a year (but I must admit that I always know what's going on). Anyway, it turns out that I truly enjoyed this book. You can't help but be drawn in to the world of the Red Sox fan and you feel what he felt. Excellent writing, good book, and I can't wait for his next offering! I might even watch a little more baseball now!

It's so nice for me to have found this blog of yours, it's so interesting. I sure hope and wish that you take courage enough to pay me a visit in my PALAVROSSAVRVS REX!, and plus get some surprise. My blog is also so cool! Don't think for a minute that my invitation is spam and I'm a spammer. I'm only searching for a public that may like or love what I write.
Feel free off course to comment as you wish and remember: don't take it wrong, don't think that this visitation I make is a matter of more audiences for my own blogg. No. It's a matter of making universal, realy universal, all this question of bloggs, all the essential causes that bring us all together by visiting and loving one another.
You must not feel obliged to come and visit me. An invitation is not an intimation. Also know that if you click on one of my ads I'm promised to earn a couple of cents for that: I would feel happy and rewarded (because I realy need it!!!) if you did click it, but once again you're totaly free to do what ever you want. I, for instance, choose immediatly to click on one of your ads, in case you have them. To do so or not, that's the whole beauty of it all, however, blogocitizens must unite also by clicking-help eachother when we know cybermegacorporations profit from our own selfishness regarding to that simple click.
I think it's to UNITE MANKIND that we became bloggers! Don't see language as an obstacle but as a challenge (though you can use the translater BabelFish at the bottom of my page!) and think for a minute if I and the rest of the world are not expecting something like a broad cumplicity. Remenber that pictures talk also. Open your heart and come along!!!!!
I was browsing blogs today and clicked as soon as I saw the headline of yours!!
Fantastic!! I wish there were a way to bookmark and come back to your blog so I can see what books you've posted/reviewed.
I'm a huge book worm and don't find enough book reviews in magazines etc... to know what's good.
Thanks!
WHAT CAN I SAY!!! Fantastic!!
