The Devil In The White City by Erik Larson

Exceptional piece about the 1893 Worlds Fair and what it took to carry it off...and America's first serial killer who used it to get his victims.

did i say that? your need to be up my ass has once again led you to make a false assumption and look like a moron. i happned to enjoy 2 of the books on his list. my comment was in reference to the fact that he is reccomending books that are not really any surprise for anyone who reads.

Black Lazerus · 03-04-2006, 12:04 AM

dude i am working and i have like 15 ims going at one time so that your phone service is pristine and clear. I can't do that and make sure i am correct in my assumptions that you were actually bing nice.

Arpikarhu · 03-04-2006, 12:34 AM

as long as my phone service is clear i forgive all.

i tend to read a lot of fringe books, rather than the typical NYT ones, actually. Connelley and DeMille are two mainstream faves of mine. Larson I borrowed from my girlfriend and really blew me away.

oops..i left off Nelson DeMilles Nightfall. That was good too.

I read a bunch b/c i was on vacation in Florida.

I'm looking at my bookshelf. The last books I've read (most recent first): Bringing Down the House, The Divine Comedy, Half Blood Prince, A Brief History of Time

That covers probably 3 years.

I don't read books

Charles Manson · 03-04-2006, 03:03 AM
