Amazon senior editor Brad Thomas Parsons recommended it to me and it's jazzy and stunning in weaving all the observations everyone has about NY into these great little collected moments.

So I do what I usually do when I read about a book I'm interested in: telnet straight over to the New York Public Library and place a hold on it. Guess what -- the NYPL has ordered no fewer than 58 copies of this book! And remember, that's just for Manhattan, the Bronx and Staten Island. Guess there's a big buzz going...

Hey, they've ripped off your layout for the book cover.

*sigh* The Intuitionist is one of my favorite books... I thought I was the only person who'd even heard of it.

"John Henry Days" I have not had the chance to begin yet, but have only heard great things about. I remember reading "The Intuitionist" a few years ago and, although it took a while to draw me in, it was unquestionably one of the more unique novels I had read in a while. And now you tell me he has a collection of essays out, which I was unaware of. Ah, the bane of being a book lover. You are book lover if, for every book you read, you have at least two or more recent purchases waiting back on your shelf.
