The History of Love: A Novel
Nicole Krauss
W. W. Norton & Company, 2005
My Highest Recommendation
+ Read this Twice before you Decide
This tale is woven together so masterfully it's nearly impossible to put down. The characters and their distinct voices are rich, unique, and memorable in a way that has worked into my own personal history of the love of reading.
We begin by getting to know "the oldest man in the world," Leopold ...

Pantheon, 2005
Sin City
+ Dark american crime history
OK, so maybe I've just crawled out from under a rock, but I'd never heard of Andrew Vachss. And then I started reading Ken Bruen's bare-knuckled crime fiction, and kept running across Bruen's frequent and reverent references to Vachss. I figured it was time to find out what was impressing the ...

The book is a modern-day western. My review ...
