Praise for A Dog Year <br> A great book that dog lovers will definitely enjoy. <br>- Booklist <br> The story line of Katz's latest book can be summed up very simply-two dogs die and two new ones join the family<br>but its charm comes from an intricate blend of witty anecdote and touching reflection. <br>- Publishers Weekly <br> A surfeit of tail-wagging, face-licking love. <br>- Kirkus Reviews <br>Praise for Running to the Mountain <br> A wonderful book -- personal, moving, funny... to call a book a perfect gift always seems slightly patronizing, but I already have a long list of names -- yes aging baby boomers -- I'm intending to give Running to the Mountain, <br>- USA Today<br> <br> A funny, moving, and triumphant voyage of the soul... Katz finds faith not by running away, but by realizing that spiritual sustenance comes from within -- from the decency with which we handle our roles as spouses, parents, and friends. <br>- Boston Globe<br> <br> You'll love this book.... In the end, we admire Katz, not for the spiritual grace that he seeks but for the grace he finds: the grace of fatherhood, husbandhood, of tending fully to those who depend on him to be a source of stability in their world. <br>- Men's Journal<br> <br> Candid and inspiring... Katz has much to be proud of: he faced himself, he rearranged himself, and he came back to write movingly of the experience. <br>- Washington Post Book World <br>Praise for Geeks: How Two Lost Boys Rode the Internet Out of Idaho<br> In Geeks, Katz displays a deft reporter's touch and shows us the geek truth, rather than simply telling us about it.... Too often, writing about the on-line world lacks emotional punch, but Katz's obvious love forhis 'lost boys' gives his narrative a rich taste. <br>- New York Times Book Review<br> <br> Geeks is a story of triumph, friendship, love, and above all, about being human and reaching for dreams in a hard-wired world. <br> -Seattle Times<br> <br> A touching page-turner about social outcasts using technology to wriggle free of dead-end lives. <br>- U.S. News & World Report<br> <br> An uplifting and hugely compassionate book. <br>- Philadelphia Inquirer
