WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE - NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - The epic, beloved novel of two boy geniuses dreaming up superheroes in New York's Golden Age of comics--soon to be a Showtime limited series"It's absolutely gosh-wow, super-colossal--smart, funny, and a continual pleasure to read."--The Washington Post Book World
Named one of the 10 Best Books of the Decade by Entertainment Weekly - Finalist for the PEN/Faulkner Award, National Book Critics Circle Award, and Los Angeles Times Book Prize
A "towering, swash-buckling thrill of a book" (Newsweek), hailed as Chabon's "magnum opus" (The New York Review of Books), The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay is a triumph of originality, imagination, and storytelling, an exuberant, irresistible novel that begins in New York City in 1939. A young escape artist and budding magician named Joe Kavalier arrives on the doorstep of his cousin, Sammy Clay. While the long shadow of Hitler falls across Europe, America is happily in thrall to the Golden Age of comic books, and in a distant corner of Brooklyn, Sammy is looking for a way to cash in on the craze. He finds the ideal partner in the aloof, artistically gifted Joe, and together they embark on an adventure that takes them deep into the heart of Manhattan, and the heart of old-fashioned American ambition. From the shared fears, dreams, and desires of two teenage boys, they spin comic book tales of the heroic, fascist-fighting Escapist and the beautiful, mysterious Luna Moth, otherworldly mistress of the night. Climbing from the streets of Brooklyn to the top of the Empire State Building, Joe and Sammy carve out lives, and careers, as vivid as cyan and magenta ink. Spanning continents and eras, this superb book by one of America's finest writers remains one of the defining novels of our modern American age. Winner of the Bay Area Book Reviewers Award and the New York Society Library Book Award

Great socks / a bit expensive
Size: Large, Color: Black
These may be the Goldilocks of the socks I've tried. They have nearly the same quality as the MUCH pricier Darn Tough Vertex Ultralight Cushion Cool Max socks (also reviewed). They have better quality, and a higher price, than a similar pair of PUMA socks (also reviewed).
Pros: Very well made, with no loose stitching, comfortable forefoot and heel cushioning, good ventilation via top mesh, good arch compression, minimal logos and mostly solid color.
Cons: Price is a bit on the high side, but better than the Darn Tough socks.
I could honestly have made a good case for any of these three (ASICS, PUMA, or Darn Tough), which explains their collective high ratings. I did the top 3 reviews first. When I get a chance, I'll go back and review the average and terrible :)
If money is no object, get the Darn Tough Vertex. If you're price sensitive, and willing to compromise a bit on quality, go with the PUMAs, which is what I did. Otherwise, these ASICS are near the same quality as the Darn Tough, but less expensive. Tough decisions :)

They fit perfectly
Size: X-Large, Color: Black
My favorite socks, the fit is great, they are comfortable and they are long enough so it covers my ankles, therefore, they don't rub against my inner shoe.

Great buy.
Size: Medium, Color: Black
These socks have a cool fresh feel to them. I bought new running shoes, Hoka Bondi 9, and they feel great paired up with them. Similar socks in the store were $49. I tried several others brands like Sauchony and 2 other lesser known brands but there was something indescribably different. I purchased another pack immediately.

Comfort
Size: Medium, Color: Black
I have been wearing ASICS socks since forever! As a distance runner, I have worn many others from different companies, and I always come back! Also, i am not a fan of the invisible kind, and ASCIS seems to be the only ones to make the socks that are above the shoe, are durable, comfortable, I have no desire to look elsewhere. Thanks ASICS!
