Really Good Read: Let the Great World Spin
Let the Great World Spin by Colum McCann is one book I wish I had marked full of underlines, stars, and arrows. Out of nowhere a line would pop up that would be so completely beautiful it literally stopped me on the page. Now that I have the book in hand again I wish I could just flip to those lines and marvel in the art of them.
I'm not a huge fan of rereading books (there's so much out there to read!) but I think I'll wait long enough to forget details of this one and read it again. Set in the 1970s the story begins the morning of Philippe Petit's tightrope walk between the twin towers and from there the story twists and turns, bringing characters together in unexpected ways. I think I read somewhere that this book is one of the best love stories written for the city of New York by a foreigner. Couldn't agree more.
