I don't know why I put off reading this for so long. Actually, I do: because Mary Anne Spier took it to the beach with her in Babysitters Club #8: Boy-Crazy Stacey, and I did not want anything to do with that boring stick in the mud. Foolish me! I wanted to hug this book when I was finished.
Someone told me that if I enjoyed "The Alienist," I would like this book. And they were right. It started out a little dry, but then it picked up and was fascinating. i don't usually go for non-fiction but I'm glad I read this one. The juxtaposition of Burnham, the golden-boy architect behind the Chicago World's Fair and Holmes, the serial killer was interesting and well done. And the historical figures who wandered in and out of the narrative, from Olmsted the designer of Central and Prospect Parks to Pendergast, the crazy assassin of the Mayor of Chicago, added color and broadened the story. I highly recommend it.

This was assigned in college (obviously) and I was shocked to find myself actually enjoying it.
This is the second book of Laura Lippman's I've read, and I think I liked that first one a bit more, ("I'd Know You Anywhere"). This one is similar, and I am beginning to wonder if perhaps all of her books are similar. Which is making me remember why I tend to stay away from mystery writers in general...they really are, ultimately, all the same, aren't they?

Snowed-in cabin in the Colorado Rocky Mountains, USA ★★★★✩ This is a “new-2-me” author, and I like her “voice.” I’ll definitely continue with this series set in a small town in Colorado. The hero was a bit of an asshat, so I had to put this down for a couple of days. However, I’ll forgive him this once, since he was grieving.

Hrafnkel's Saga (pronounced roughly like "Hrapket's Saga") is a very rare work indeed, focusing on the average Old Icelandic farmer rather than the heroes, kings, and poets of the day. It's pretty good to boot. The eponymous hero even strings up a group of men through holes he pokes between their achilles tendons and heel bones. The Other Icelandic Stories are the real gems, though. They range from cutesy to tragic and are just good fun reads, some of them almost mini-sagas. I would suggest this book as a starting place for anybody interested in getting into the Sagas.
Not that impressed. It started out pretty well and I thought it was a good concept. Very Dan Brown esque in terms of running around everywhere to keep a good pace to the book. But I HATED the ending. No matter how much I may enjoy a book... if the ending is terrible and/or cannot maintain the suspension of disbelief... it ruins it for me.

THE book that had the most influence on me growing up. Did it foster my independent streak, or merely give it fuel? Don't know, but it definitely made me think.

I am reading the novel, not listening to the CD. Well. I have to say I was slightly disappointed. I couldn't put the book down but because I kept waiting for something juicy to happen. It was long winded in parts and although I know it is suppose to thought provoking etc... I didn't feel it. I was really disappointed with the ending. BIG TIME.

In the early 1300, the Bishop of Pamiers launched an inquisition into the villiage of Montaillou in the mountains of Southern France. The inquisitors kept detailer decords of the proceedings, and Ladurie uses these primary texts to create one of the most vivid, down-to-earth explorations of life, religion, and fear in medieval Europe.
