Shoeless Joe by W.P. Kinsella
You probably have fond memories of the Field of Dreams movie, starring Kevin Costner as a farmer who builds a mystical baseball field in his cornfield that attracts the ghosts of baseball legends—“build it and they will come.” Kind of my mantra when I decided to open River Bookshop. With the Tigers’ Spring Season only weeks away, I thought I would pick up the book that inspired the movie. What a sweet read it is. The long forgotten ball players kidnap author J.D. Salinger, which unfolds into a read that I wish went on forever.
