The Age of Miracles by Karen Thompson Walker
The Age of Miracles

Leonard Sommer, January 30, 2013

Growing up as teenage girl in suburban LA, and, oh yeah, the world is coming to a slowing end. The book makes you think about the large historical forces and their impact on our tiny lives and development. Well written and even lyrically written.

The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay by Michael Chabon
The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay

Leonard Sommer, January 21, 2010

This is close to a perfect book. It makes you laugh and it makes you cry. It is the book you can't wait to get home to finish and yet you hesitate for fear that it will be the end of such a wonderful reading experience.
