Significance of Reading and Influence Great Books Had on me
I’m attracted to funny, entertaining, and smart. I’m talking about books. What did you think I was talking about?
Books that move, books that jump, books that grab me. And make me pause and think. Please don’t be long-winded or preach. Just tell me a good story and let me fill in some of the details or think about what it means. Give me contrast – happy and sad, ups and downs, good and bad. Layer it with emotion. Maybe even make me tear up in the end. And stay with me years later.
I remember the writers who affected me. The ones with a voice. And something to say. I’ll read along, and when it’s really good, I feel the writer is winking at me. She knows it’s good too. Is she becoming my imaginary friend?
And if it makes sense, I’d like a happy ending. Because ultimately, I’m optimistic.
“With echoes of Jack Kerouac and Woody Allen, Danzig sharply documents the protagonist’s triumphs and disappointments against beautifully realized depictions of Venice and the French Rivera. A thoroughly enjoyable romp.”

“Allen Danzig brings an exciting and dynamic new voice to storytelling. A brilliant novel detailing the emotional journey of a fascinating character. I couldn’t put it down. “

Allen Danzig’s deadpan humor and dry wit provide an exhilarating reader experience, as we follow Joseph’s unpredictable, quirky journey, leaving behind a secure lifestyle in pursuit of a more meaningful life and quintessential love. As an added bonus, the author provides picturesque insights into the charm and beauty of various locales in Italy and France, forming the backdrop in Joseph’s search for fulfillment.
