Finished A WIND IN THE DOOR

18130

Charles Wallace is ill and Meg and Calvin must help with the cure.  An inventive science fiction tale ensues leading to the broadening of everyone involved minds, mostly the reader...  I am considering suggesting the first book in this trilogy--A Wrinkle in Time--as one book for Gabe's summer reading next year.

I have now started The Devil in the White City Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair That Changed America, by Erik Larson.  This non-fiction documents the building of the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago and the serial murderer who stalked it.  I have only just begun and the initial chapter reminds me of Follett's The Pillars of the Earth and World Without End in that they all make historical inventive architecture fascinating.
