Gentlemen of the Road | 
(Amazing invitation to a fight:) 'If I'm mistaken as to the actual nature of your lower extremeties, I beg you to join me in the courtyard of this house, at your leasure but preferably soon, so that, with the pedagogical instrument of your choice, you may educate me.'
so-soA story about the adventures of 2 Jewish bandits who get roped into a rebellion a plot for the throne of the kingdom of Khazar. Not one of my favourite Chabon books but still a decent read.
so-soThis was a quick, somewhat enjoyable read. I like Chabon. Wonder Boys is one of my favorite books. This one was definitely a departure from his usual fare. I liked it in principle, found the characters interesting, etc., but it wasn't very deep at all. I know he was going for "Jews with swords" (in his own words), but I'd like to have had him slow down and explore the characters and world a little more. Overall, just so-so.

pickWritten in the spirit of the old adventures novels with twists and turns in every chapters. I enjoyed it a lot. It's part of the charm of the story that there is some over the top elements and twists. I liked the atmosphere, the characters, especially Zelikman. It's a fantasy romp in a fantasy central Asia in the 10th century. Short yet lively book. It's a nice way to escape reality for a few hours. 💕💖
