Book of the Week: Bob Harris, Prisoner of Trebekistan: A Decade in Jeopardy!
You don't have to be a Jeopardy! fan to adore this book; Harris is a supremely engaging writer, and bounces adeptly from category to category - Life, Love, Memory Skills, Freakish Trivia, Stand-up Comedy in Small Midwestern College Towns, and Tiny Log-Climbing Ungulates - without ever losing the thread of true story-telling. I laughed out loud and misted up within the space of about two pages, and now I'm jonesing for there to be a second decade of Trebekistan, and the story thereof.
