Steve Tornello gave to: Zeitoun by Dave Eggers read in January, 2012	My rating:
I've yet to read a Dave Eggers book that I didn't adore. I understand that he's somewhat divisive, but I know what side of the fence I'm on. He's a brilliant storyteller, and this is just the latest example, a great book with amazing true characters.

Reading a Cormac McCarthy book comes with certain constants. There will be death, horror, the limits of the human condition, degradation, hope, darkness, soul and heart. And they're all delivered with intensity. "All The Pretty Horses" is loaded with...more

Steve Tornello gave to: Freedom by Jonathan Franzen read in January, 2012	My rating:
It's impossible to follow up a masterpiece like "The Corrections", but this is a valiant try. He's truly such a terrific storyteller. It does run a bit long and it feels like it peters out at the end, but it's really enjoyable.

Steve Tornello gave to: Boomerang: Travels in the New Third World by Michael Lewis read in November, 2011	My rating:
Yet another clear, concise and riveting book by Michael Lewis as he puts a human spin on a topic that's utterly technical and presumptively boring. He's truly talented and skillful and I wish I could keep everything he writes absorbed in my head so I...more
