Retro Reads

The Devil in the White City
by Erik Larson

I think this was the first book that Matt and I shared together.

But more significantly, I got this book from Kate (along with chili) when my mom was sick.
Kate is simply the. best. friend. ever.

This was a pretty cool book.  It inspired an Erik Larson on Matt's side of the shelf.  Nobody in the book club liked it - except for Kate and I.  But we know what's what.

I loved learning about Chicago and the World's Fair.  Larson's sense of place is divine. 

It's one of those books that I'll not easily forget.
