A Little Good Reading

I've been reading The Devil in the White City (by Erik Larson). I'm enjoying this book a great deal, and I wanted to mention it because the book brilliantly conveys the electric excitement (and sometimes danger) inherent in any great city. The book tells the story about the master architect striving to make Chicago's reputation by astounding everyone by creating the most impressive World's Fair ever, and how his destiny became intertwined with that of a prolific serial killer who relied upon the excitement of the city and the fair to lure his victims.
