klw03 stopped reading The Lost Tomb by Kent R. Weeks
I think everyone has their Indiana Jones phase. This book was informative and really a great read. Plus, Kent has some hilarious stories no one could make up. I recommend everyone read this book.

Got the reading bug from my dad. He read every night. Our house had a room filled with books, a fireplace, and comfy chairs. Once I read my first Hardy Boys mystery, I was hooked. Mysteries are my genre, but I also love historical fiction, biographies, and everything by Erik Larson. There is nothing better than finding a used bookstore; great way to plan a trip. Got turned on to Dorothy Sayers in a used bookstore.

It takes a while to get into Charles Dickens’s style of writing, but the story is funny and tragic at the same time. The last 200 pages really fly.

klw03 started reading Jimmie Dale and the Blue Envelope Murder by Frank L Packard (Jimmie Dale, #4)
Set after WWI. Rich playboy moonlights as masked crime fighter, with more than one alter identity, living in the Bowery.
Late in the Revolutionary War. One family loyal to the British, with exception of the young daughter, loyal to the colonists. Neighbor is a spy with a bounty on his head from both sides. Escapes worthy of a Hollywood movie.
klw03 stopped reading The Great Chicago Fire by Robert Cromie
Really good. Laid out a great description of the progression of the fire with personal stories. A lot of things happened that night to make the perfect storm. Despite the level of devastation, you cannot help but have great admiration for the firefighters of the day.
