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.

The Closers by Michael Connelley

Good read for those who like CSI/Law & Order stories by a guy who has been doing them before those shows ever came out.

if it isnt on the NYT best seller list, gooch dont read it!
I love him. He's like those happy old people who become known for sitting by the side of a busy street and waving to passing cars. People drive by regularly and beep just to see him and get him to wave to them.

That's just like our Arpi... except he doesn't wave or anything. He just says mean things to you.

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.

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
