I don't have time to read nonfiction.

Baseball games are like snowflakes and fingerprints, no two are ever alike.

Discovered W. Somerset Maugham in about 5th grade. Didn't understand the plots, but loved the descriptions.

W. P. Kinsella
I'm a big fan of curling, follow all the major world events. Watch all four Tennis majors.

Use your imagination. Trust me, your lives are not interesting. Don't write them down.

Basketball is the worst sport. They need to raise the basket at least two feet.

Yogi Berra, Bill Lee, they were irreverent, poked fun at the stodgy owners and managers.
W. P. Kinsella
He bats like a lightning rod.

My dad talked a good game. [I'm as a] child got only the World Series on the radio.
W. P. Kinsella
I was lucky to get one good adaptation. Field of Dreams the Musical is lurking in the wings. Hope it will provide my daughters with a ton of money someday.
W. P. Kinsella
I have no interest in non-fiction. I don't read it and don't watch it and don't write it, other than a little journalistic column.
W. P. Kinsella
I think it is worse [in 2015] for a mid-list author such as myself. You either have to sell like Stephen King or go with the small presses where there is no money. I was lucky to have been in the right place and time for many years.
W. P. Kinsella
The Great Gatsby, the finest novel ever written.

Any game becomes important when you know and love the players.
