If you're going to watch the Field of Dreams baseball game between two National League bottom feeders tonight (8/11), here's a couple of postings from The Book Shopper archive that you can look at when things get a little slow. To celebrate the game, I'm having corn-on-cob for dinner tonight.
From May 2009, "Field of Dream Fanatic" is a review of an appearance by an author who wrote a book about Moonlight Graham and other trivia surrounding the movie.
The second offering "Book Burning Iowans in Field of Dreams" comes from the fine essayist Wilfred Sheed who loved baseball, but in his essay, he was less than kind to Iowans. This May 2013 posting also has a link to a third essay about the Jungian overtones of the movie.
You should time to read all of these. I would bet on it.
