About the Book

Now in paperback comes the eye-opening, endearing, true tale hailed by the Chicago Sun-Times as a sweet story about two teens who escape dead-end lives in Caldwell, Idaho . . . and why society badly needs to reconnect with its geeks. Includes a new Afterword.

Review :
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 forhis '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"
