It is! The game has a bunch of literature references, so while I didn't want to open with one, I wanted to let one in early so people would know what it is about. And nobody better than the master to be the top batter.
When you do, I'd love to know what books you liked the most. As their styles can be quite different, I think there's one for everyone, so having that knowledge is also important to me.
Thank you too for the kind words!
