This classic is a must for any baseball fan. The basis for the movie Field of Dreams, Shoeless Joe tells the story of a farmer named Ray Kinsella who hears a voice telling him to build a ballpark in his cornfield, and does it. Thanks to Ray’s work, the disgraced 1919 White Sox, including Shoeless Joe Jackson, his father’s hero, get to come back and play again. But that’s only the beginning of a baseball journey that finds Ray leading author J. D. Salinger and Dr. Archibald “Moonlight” Graham — who played just one half-inning in the major leagues — back to his magical field. Kinsella’s prose is so lyrical that you’ll find yourself rereading sentences simply because they make you feel so good. --Colt R.
