Geeks: How Two Lost Boys Rode the Internet Out of Idaho - Tapa blanda

Praise for A Dog Year

"A great book that dog lovers will definitely enjoy."
-Booklist

"The story line of Katz's latest book can be summed up very simply-two dogs die and two new ones join the family
but its charm comes from an intricate blend of witty anecdote and touching reflection."
-Publishers Weekly

"A surfeit of tail-wagging, face-licking love."
-Kirkus Reviews

Praise for Running to the Mountain

"A wonderful book -- personal, moving, funny... to call a book a perfect gift always seems slightly patronizing, but I already have a long list of names -- yes aging baby boomers -- I'm intending to give Running to the Mountain."
-USA Today

"A funny, moving, and triumphant voyage of the soul... Katz finds faith not by running away, but by realizing that spiritual sustenance comes from within -- from the decency with which we handle our roles as spouses, parents, and friends."
-Boston Globe

"You'll love this book.... In the end, we admire Katz, not for the spiritual grace that he seeks but for the grace he finds: the grace of fatherhood, husbandhood, of tending fully to those who depend on him to be a source of stability in their world."
-Men's Journal

"Candid and inspiring... Katz has much to be proud of: he faced himself, he rearranged himself, and he came back to write movingly of the experience."
-Washington Post Book World
Praise for Geeks: How Two Lost Boys Rode the Internet Out of Idaho
"In Geeks, Katz displays a deft reporter's touch and shows us the geek truth, rather than simply telling us about it.... Too often, writing about the on-line world lacks emotional punch, but Katz's obvious love for his 'lost boys' gives his narrative a rich taste."
-New York Times Book Review

"Geeks is a story of triumph, friendship, love, and above all, about being human and reaching for dreams in a hard-wired world."
-Seattle Times

"A touching page-turner about social outcasts using technology to wriggle free of dead-end lives."
-U.S. News & World Report

"An uplifting and hugely compassionate book."
-Philadelphia Inquirer
