It's a personal account of the <a href="http://www.jeopardy.com/"><span style="font-style:italic">Jeopardy!</span></a> <a href="http://www.j-archive.com/showplayer.php?player_id=2396">champion</a>'s experience and life. It's a quite interesting read, covering the games and trivia angle along with his own personal reactions and life experiences. I'm a big fan of <span style="font-style:italic">Jeopardy!</span> and saw Bob Harris play, so my reading the book was natural, but it's been well-received by all kinds of readers and reviewers, from <span style="font-style:italic">Jeopardy!</span> Ultimate Tournament Champion <a href="http://www.inquizitive.com/abouthost.html">Brad Rutter</a>, to Ira Glass of <a href="http://www.thisamericanlife.org/"><span style="font-style:italic">This American Life</span></a>, to author <a href="http://www.hatrack.com/">Orson Scott Card</a>, to <span style="font-style:italic">Firefly</span> creator <a href="http://www.whedonesque.com/">Joss Whedon</a>. I highly suggest you check it out, even if you aren't a big <span style="font-style:italic">Jeopardy! </span>fan. I'm thrilled to see that Bob's sealed a deal for a follow-up book, which I hope to see on shelves soon.<br></div><img src="http://c.services.spaces.live.com/CollectionWebService/c.gif?cid=1226375975505708227&page=RSS%3a+Prisoner+of+Trebekistan&referrer=" width="1px" height="1px" border="0" alt=""><img style="position:absolute" alt="" width="0px" height="0px" src="http://c.live.com/c.gif?NC=31263&amp;NA=1149&amp;PI=73329&amp;RF=&amp;DI=3919&amp;PS=85545&amp;TP=stevensm.spaces.live.com&amp;GT1=stevensm">http://stevensm.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!1104F673BD1744C3!631.entry#commenthttp://stevensm.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!1104F673BD1744C3!631.entrySat, 11 Nov 2006 18:03:07 GMT0blogentryblogentryBlog entryhttp://stevensm.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!1104F673BD1744C3!631/comments/feed.rsshttp://stevensm.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!1104F673BD1744C3!631.entry#comment2006-11-11T18:12:36Z
