Finishing up Fever Pitch by Nick Hornby. Can't believe it's taken me so long (decades!) to get to this one. It's funny and heartfelt, and the onslaught of soccer and Arsenal details works fine for this football dork, but I'm surprised it worked so well for so many mainstream readers. In any case, it's a nice break from my usual historical espionage and mystery fiction and nicely coincides with my Portland Timbers FC returning to the top flight of American soccer in MLS. This last part won't make much sense to most of you, but it means a ton to this Portlander! RCTID!
