bookshelves: architecture
The chapters in this book about the actual process of photographing buildings were interesting and informative. The post-production chapter wasn't as helpful. Most architects know photoshop pretty well already and if I didn't know photoshop very well and wanted to learn how to do things, I would pick up a book specifically about photoshop.

I did enjoy all the photos of Berlin though. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/80250883 The Lightning Thief (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, #1) by Rick Riordan

bookshelves: chicago-books-authors, fiction
This book grew on me as I got closer to the end. Bellow lost me a bit whenever he got too philosophical, but the 'Dangling' concept, the idea of being stuck with nothing to do for so long really stuck with me, as most things that hit so closely to home tend to do. I'm not sure if I would recommend this to many people but there are a few certain people that I would strongly recommend this to. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/241644-build-your-own-bookclub Ben made a comment in the chicago readers group:

Stacey, how early do you think you would be able to get to to the Book Cellar on Saturday after work? If we met at 4, would you be able to make it there? Would 4 work for everyone else as well? ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/78565092 to: The Forgotten Man: A New History of the Great Depression (Paperback) by Amity Shlaes
This was a very thorough political and economic history of the Great Depression. Shlaes didn't pull any punches when describing the flaws of the programs of the New Deal. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/76187261 Meaghan's review of Chicago: A Biography
by Dominic A. Pacyga

I lost interest in this book when the author gave the wrong history of the nickname 'Second City' in the dust jacket. Bad first impression. ]]>
