Beautifully and colorfully written, Gentlemen almost seems as it it were written in the 18th or 19th century, fitting right in with The Three Musketeers or Arabian Nights. Time will tell if it has the staying power of those books, but I think it's definitely one worth reading again.

Gentlemen of the Road, by Michael Chabon
Gentlemen of the Road, by Pulitzer Prize winner Michael Chabon, not only takes the reader to another time, the 10th century, but, although it was published in 2007, it feels like a novel from another time. Following the travels of Zelikman and Amram, the gentlemen of the road, Chabon takes us on a journey on which they will survive tight scrapes, overcome long odds, and ultimately restore a kingdom.
