The Tin Drum

Stuff that really stretched me: The Tin Drum; One Hundred Years of Solitude. Working nights meant I was paid overtime and I'd go into Cambridge and buy maybe 10 books a week.

Bad Blood

You may have thought Carreyrou’s Wall Street Journal expose on Theranos was shocking. Turns out that story barely scratched the surface of Elizabeth Holmes’ remarkable and all-encompassing web of deceit and lies. A story so incredulous you’d think it was fiction.

Little Fires Everywhere

A mysterious family drama that offers glimpses of secrets, through mirrors and windows, and explores the sacrifices we’re willing to make for our children. Your hometown will never look the same.

Educated

An affecting story, well told, and incredibly compelling. Read it, and you’ll want to meet the author and hear even more about her life (I certainly did).

Ulysses

If the laws of real estate are location, location, location, for me it's story, story, story. My style is colloquial. It's the way we tell stories to one another. My favorite books are actually very complicated — One Hundred Years of Solitude, Ulysses. But my own style — we just tell a story.

Steps

It's the style that I've adopted. It began with a book called Midnight Club. I started thinking of books with very short, effective chapters like Mr. Bridge and Mrs. Bridge by Evan Connell Jr. and The Painted Bird and Steps by Jerzy Kosinski. That's what I do.
