It is such a great book, and I have never met anyone who has read it (except my Dad, who recommended it to me, and two people I got to read it). Anyone?

YES YES YES!
I just came across your other post about "Fan's Notes" (yeah, browsing reddit when i should have been working) but it didn't seem to be accepting comments. Is there such a thing as a locked post on reddit?
Then, i found this, your OTHER other post and I'm ecstatic to be able to leave you a comment, happy in the knowledge that someone else out there love the Ex too.
A Fan's Notes, Pages From A Cold Island, and Last Notes from Home are three of the finest books i've encountered. Three books? Maybe just one long book delicately blurring the line between fiction, autobiography, morality play, beatnik/self parody and sport writing, they have colored my life these last 20 years and I'm always pleased to find someone else who knows Ex.
I just ordered this book, and I have heard great things about it. I can't wait to read it--I will let you know what I think.
I actually searched "A Fan's Notes" on reddit to see if anything had been posted about it.
Awesome! It is such a great book, and for some reason it's really hard to find anyone who has read it. I hope you enjoy it, and I'd love to hear what you think of it.
