by Michael Chabon (639 pages)
Kavalier and Clay is the story of two men breaking into the ground floor of comic books when the form was still being discovered. It's also a book of the years leading up to WWII. It's a book about being jewish and escaping from Prague. It's about losing family. It's about finding a new family. It's about self discover. This is one of those books I try to describe and find that I can't. Suffice it to say, I found this a pretty amazing read.

My favorite book. I love the ending - as big and sprawling of a book as this can be, the ending makes it feel like a snapshot, just the begining of the story.
I agree although I think my favorite aspect of the book was it's structure. It actually took on the feel of a serial comic for a little while. Each part being like a story line and each chapter was like an issue.
