Don, I just finished Let the Great World Spin, as well, in fact, just this =
past Friday on an airplane. I loved it so much that I was mad at the book f=
or ending. It's hard to explain what it is about that book, but I can't rem=
ember being so affected by something I've read in a long time, maybe ever. =
It's somehow epic and intimate at the same time. Everyone should read it. S=
eriously, I've been telling everyone I speak to about it. I might buy a cas=
e and start handing it out...

And I can also concur with iddiots who=92ve touted
the recent documentary about Phillipe Petit
=91Man on Wire=92; but don=92t be misled, the book is not about him
or the walk.
