Best book I've read in a long time: The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt -- it's not often that literary fiction reads as smoothly as a Stephen King book. It's a coming of age story, a drug story, a heist story all rolled up.
I'm reading The Goldfinch right now. Indeed, master storytelling, super readable. I'm enjoying it immensely.
