My only complaint is that there were a few places it got a bit more technical than it needed to be. Other than that: awesome!

A classic of lesbian fiction that often gets left off lists. I read this not too long after coming out, and I loved it.Word Freak: Heartbreak, Triumph, Genius, and Obsession in the World of Competitive Scrabble Players by Stefan Fatsis
