One of my enduring joys in life is reading George Will. I remember reading him in my dad's Newsweeks starting sometime around the age of 12. This is the latest collection of Will's columns and essays from the last decade. It is organized by subject matter, a chapter about science, one about politics, one entitled "Games" where he actually has something nice to say about football. That came as a shocker considering his apt description of the game as one that combines two of the wors

I bow to no one in my admiration of George Will. The man can write like nobody's business. He is one of very few public figures on the right who can calmly and articulately (and convincingly!) explain conservative positions in an effective way.

George Will is brilliant. He is informed about so many different subjects and a talented writer.

It inspired me to be more informed about the current events happening in our country.

Well crafted and thoughtful morsels from a thinking man's conservative. Good stuff on science and religion in a democratic society, and, of course, America'a Pastime.

I enjoyed the book and would recommened it to anyone.
It's a bit of an anthology of Mr Will's opinion pieces and it helped me understand a bit more about history and politics.
Some may want to skip the last chapter dealing with baseball and why Mr Will enjoys the sport, but I've always wondered why someone would like to watch sports. I enjoy playing sports, but I don't like to be a spectator, so I learned a bit and developed some understanding.

George Will's work is worth reading purely for its elegant style. Should you happen to agree with his politics, this is an exercise in validation.
