W.P. Kinsella’s seminal book, which graced the big screen as Field of Dreams, tells the tale of an Iowa farmer who, listening to a mysterious voice that only he can hear, builds a baseball field on his farm for Shoeless Joe Jackson and the rest of the 1919 White Sox, drives to New England to kidnap J.D. Salinger, then heads to Minnesota to find Moonlight Graham, who played a single game for the New York Giants in 1905, before returning home to his family, his farm, and his field.

In what may seem to be a weird fact, due to my baseball fandom, I have never seen Field of Dreams.  I was familiar enough (or so I thought) with the main themes of the movie, but never was interested enough to go ahead and actually watch it.  So when I saw the book on sale through Amazon’s Kindle Store, I surprised myself by buying it.  I enjoyed the book enough to consider watching the movie, should I come across it.  I don’t know if I would go out of my way to find it, though.
