    I haven’t read it yet either, but I imagine that since you didn’t like Head Down, you probably won’t like this book either. I assume they are pretty similar.
    Hearts are tough, she said, most times hearts don't break, and I'm sure that's right . . . but what about then? What about who we were then? What about hearts in Atlantis?

    I don't like King's non-fiction to begin with. I guess I would like King writing about baseball even less.

    I'd rather read Margaret Atwood write about curling (if she was into it.)

    YES!!!

    It is true I have not, nor ever will read this book. I have touched it once, with surgical gloves on, for the purposes of burning it, which I filmed and placed on "Youtube". The link is posted in a thread here. Checking "Never Read" while true did not accurately reflect my feelings on the subject matter. Remember after a King signing I yelled "Go Yankee's" to Stephens' car and he heard me and was none too pleased. Ask, RF!!!



    Spoiler:
    Boston Sucks!!!


    In the final calculations, I'll be omitting the zero. I don't believe anyone will mind.
