I've decided to try something new, this month. My daily commute can last anywhere from an hour to an hour and a half, each way, which leaves me with a lot of time on my hands. Most of the time I fill it by reading, listening to the iphone or watching a show on netflix (via iPhone!). This month, however, I'm going to try something different and read books only set in or about Chciago. I did an informal poll with some friends, and have a vague list of books that should provide some interesting insights into the city I grew up next to and now live in. Here's my list so far...
Michael Lesy, "Murder City: The bloody history of Chicago in the 1920's"
Mike Royko, "Boss: Richard J. Daley of Chicago"
Alex Kotlowitz. "There Are No Children Here"
Reymundo Sanchez, "My Bloody Life"
And I'll probably have to wing it for something to read in the last week.. I've already finished the Lesy book, review to come shortly.
