I read a column or so and thought it contained way more information than I needed to know about Al Pacino, and presented in kind of a dry straightforward way, as though he's entering all of this into the historical record rather than writing a captivating essay for a fairly sophisticated literary audience. I like Al Pacino! But I don't need to know every detail of his childhood. With your recommendation, though, maybe I'll try again.
