The Thieves of Manhattan

Buy now from:
Why The Thieves of Manhattan
By Adam Langer

The perfect mix of humor, deception, literary savvy, and thriller with a touch of romance (and bro-mance) that will leave you with a cheshire on your face.

"As clever a quick read as you can ever ask for. His character Ian is hilariously hapless and self-deprecating. The book crackles with humor and insightinto not only publishing corruption, but also the history of modern literature.”—Edge

Food and Wine Pairings

The Thieves of Manhattan

September 2010’s BB Book Club Book Pick:
The Thieves of Manhattan By Adam Langer

Surprisingly there is no talk of wine in this book. We could try to stretch and come up with a loose connection, but we decided to explore one of Ian's favorite drinks - the "fitzgerald" - or what is more popularly known as a gin-rickey, which is said to be F. Scott Fitzgerald's favorite drink.


How to make a Gin-Rickey
Juice of 1/2 Lime
1 1/2 oz. Gin
Club Soda


Pour ingredients into highball glass over ice cubes and fill with club soda. Stir. Add a wedge of lime.

Or, to mix things up even more at your book club, try a gin flight...

Become a BB Reader

Although EVERY clubie is part of the BB Book Club (as seen on this "Club House" page), to be a BB Reader simply means you are taking a more active part of our "book club of the month" fun... no obligations... just the opportunity to be more involved and be a part of our online BB Book Club.

SO... our "Secret Club" is not so secret anymore as we have made it SO easy for you to jump on board. Just click the join the book club button to the right.

Once you are in the book club the benefits and fun begin!

Here's how it works:

1. The BB reader's will show up as one of your book clubs so you can easily enjoy it as you would any other book club.

2. Each month* we will choose three great book choices and you get to help decide the monthly book pick! (To check out what the club has read so far, go to our "Past Book Club Picks" tab. To find out more about how we chose our book club picks, go the our "About the BB Book Club" tab.)

3. As an added benefit to you - you will get to know the choice a month ahead of the rest of the BB Book Club. Our BB staff likes to get our reviews in on the 1st of the month to help generate discussion right away and now YOU can be part of the early discussion!

4. All the book club information comes to you so you can easily review, rate and discuss the book with us every month because that is what makes it fun! Although, it is certainly not required....the more the merrier! Join in whenever you can all month long!

And as our numbers grow, we will be adding more opportunities for this club to interact.

* except for the two months we have "The Book Pick" contest winners.

Author Spotlight on Great Books everyone should read
The Lady Matador's Hotel
The Lady Matador's Hotel
By Cristina Garcia

6 lives intertwining at a hotel in a Central American in the midst of political turmoil. A Japanese-Mexican-American matadora, an ex-guerrilla now waitress, a Korean manufacturer with an underage mistress, a German international adoption lawyer, a colonel who committed atrocities, & a Cuban poet who has come with his American wife to adopt.
Room
Room
By Emma Donoghue

Told entirely in the language of the energetic, pragmatic five-year-old Jack, ROOM is a celebration of resilience and the limitless bond between parent and child. Room is home to Jack, but to Ma, it is the prison where Old Nick has held her captive for seven years. She devises a bold escape plan, one that relies on her young son's bravery and a lot of luck. What she does not realize is just how unprepared she is for the plan to actually work.
The Good Daughters
The Good Daughters
By Joyce Maynard

They were born on the same day, in the same small New Hampshire hospital, into families that could hardly have been less alike. Maynard chronicles the unlikely ways the two women's lives parallel and intersect—from childhood, to marriage, to parenthood, to deaths of parents, to divorce, —until past secrets and forgotten memories unexpectedly come to light, forcing them to reevaluate themselves and each other.
