### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is a must-own book
            
*by K***R on March 16, 2012*

Anyone who has lived in New York, loved in New York, passed through New York, or just longed for a glimpse of this city of dreams, needs to own Teresa Carpenter's brilliantly conceived and executed New York Diaries.It took someone as gifted as Carpenter to figure out how to portray New York City and all that it has stood for over the past 400 years.As soon as I cracked open the book, like many others, I'm sure, I wanted to know what the diarists were saying on my birthday. On that day in 1949, John Cheever took his daughter Susie to a party on Fifth Avenue ("In the brume the long double track of street lamps seems yellow.") Then Christmas: In 1986, Andy Warhol "...went to the Church of the Heavenly Rest to pass out Interviews and feed the poor...Got a lot of calls to go to Christmas parties but I just decided to stay in and I loved it."Then, when I heard a review of the book on NPR, I decided to take the reviewer up on her suggestion of reading an entry of the book every night before going to bed. Now I keep the book by my bed and that's exactly what I do. Come December 31, I'll miss my routine terribly.But there are many many ways to absorb this glorious collection of carefully culled diary entries. Go at it straight on and straight through, or pick and choose as you like. Whichever way you decide to absorb this fascinating book, you won't be sorry.
