My wife has been in a number of book groups over the past twenty or so years. Once a year, the husbands are invited to participate. In all that time, we’ve only discussed one book about sports (if you consider Lance Armstrong’s It’s Not About the Bike a sports book).
So this story from the Washington Post — “The Nats’ clubhouse book club is on a journey to Middle-earth this season” — caught my eye. Even though their book of choice is part of the Lord of the Rings franchise, it still fits here because it’s “baseball” and “books.”
