Sin in the Second City: Madams, Ministers, Playboys, and the Battle for America's Soul
by Karen Abbott
How are you liking this? I've been thinking about reading it.
I love it! It's taking me forever to finish it because children ate my brain and it's yet to grow back... but I LOVE it! Read it! We'll discuss! (Sidenote about discuss - eventually we'll get out act together and start Book and Pie again - you're game right?)
OMG puh-leeze let me know about Book and Pie club. I broke up with my old book club (no fault of theirs--the selections just veered away from my tastes) and I'm still recovering from the heartbreak. Also, I am learning to bake.
Totally know what you mean about staring out the bus window instead of reading your book! But I'm glad you liked it anyway.

Good gravy this book took me just this side of forevr to finish up! I don't know what my problem was! Okay that's a lie - I know that I was just this side of exhausted for the last two and a half months and whenever I was on the bus I would stare dumbly out the window instead of reading because read was just way too difficult. THAT was the problem.
I did like this book, but I wish that it had stayed with the sisters more and left some of the secendary characters sans storyline. In all honesty, I"m still not sure I learned all that much about the Everleigh sisters themselves... perhaps it was the secret and lie coats they wore during their lifetimes... who knows.
All in all a solid non-fiction read that felt almost like a narrative!
