I'm as shocked as anyone that Let the Great World Spin is the best thing I've read in ages. Reviews want to compare it to Bonfire of the Vanities, but really it's like a more charitable DeLillo. The descriptions of the actual wire-walking (let's see: a 210 ft span, on a 7/8" cable, while carrying a 55 lb pole) made me sweat. Or will continue to (I hope there aren't any more). I'm more than halfway through and I sort of doubt the author will blow it. So - highly recommended!

More boring pedantry.
