(Amazon.com) - this year the top books fell into place with an almost eerie agreement, led by our #1 choice, the closest we've ever come to a truly unanimous pick at the top since I've been here. The Colum McCann fans among us were clamoring for a copy of "Let the Great World Spin" (Amazon.com: http://xrl.us/GreatWorldSpin ) when it was first announced, and as soon as copies arrived they passed through our offices like wildfire. Weirdo literary types, pop culture junkies, you name it --everybody found something to love in McCann's lyrical story of ten intricately connected lives in 1970s New York, set against the backdrop of Philippe Petit's audacious tightrope walk between the Twin Towers (Wikipedia: http://xrl.us/Petit ). We hope you'll agree.. The rest of the Top 10: http://xrl.us/MoreTop10[ Auf dieses Posting antworten ]
