The Natural: A Novel | 
pickDarker than the movie. Well written and worth the read. Roy Hobbs is less polished in the book and comes across more real for it.

This one has been on my shelf for a very long time. I‘ve seen the movie but it‘s time to #ReadOrDonate the book.

1. Oh yes. I used to play soccer, basketball, and baseball, and also ran track a couple years during school. I still jog to stay in shape and like hiking and swimming. My sports watching has been whittled down now to soccer (mostly the English Premier League) and the NFL. But I'll occasionally watch just about anything.
2. The tagged book is the only one coming to mind right now.

Readers find readers! Well, I already knew that about this wonderful lady. She‘s a server at a diner I often go to, but she hasn‘t been around for awhile. She took a fall and has finally recovered from her injury. She asked me which books I‘ve been reading since she last saw me a couple months ago. And she‘s a fan of “The Natural” movie—so maybe she‘ll pick up the book. 😁 ⚾️ #BookFriends
#BookNDinner! Accompaniment this wet and muggy evening was: cheese ravioli with a four cheese marinara sauce, garden salad with extra virgin olive oil, bread & butter, and Pellegrino sparkling mineral water. MMMmmm 😋! This has been another presentation of: #MrBookKitchen. Happy reads & happy eats! 😎👌🏻
Bernard Malamud's first novel about Roy Hobbs and his bat WonderBoy. Based loosely on a case from around that era of a ballplayer being shot by a woman and having his career sidetracked. #FunPhotoFriday
When the July stifle drove her out of her room she appeared in the hotel lobby in black, her hair turned a lighter, golden shade as though some of the fire had burned out of it, and Roy was moved by her appearance.
That opening paragraph. Hello great writing, I'm glad to find you 💗😍
Library book haul: bookclub pick, some horror options and more baseball! Now I just need to pick which one to start 📚💗
