My favorite books...

Of Mice and Men -- Stienbeck
1984 -- Orwell
Devil in the White City -- Erik Larson. I must have read this one five times. Its an interesting fact-based story about the building of Chicago's Columbian exposition, intertwined with the story of the US's first serial killer who set up shop just out side. Its is both at hte same time inspiring (Especially the account of hteb uilding of the ferris wheel) and uncomfortable (The story of Dr. HH Holmes).
