After reading A Gentleman in Moscow, I knew that Towles would be given another twenty dollars and hours of my time.

He did not disappoint.

I have dream upon dream in my old noggin. All of them of a different genre, and each of them inspired by a different giant.

Rick Bragg. J.R.R. Tolkien. Bram Stoker and Mary Shelley.

And now… Amor Towles.

Welcome to the select few, Amor. I will recommend your books to anyone who likes to read.

I already have.

It’s annoying, I’m sure.
