Candice’s comments from the What should I read next?: The book ending support group group.

I used to feel obligated to finish every book I started. Now I realize there are more books than time. If a book bores me after 100 pages I give it up and don't look back. I'm glad to see I am not the only one who hated "Interview with a Vampire". I did like the movie though.

I just finished Anna Quindlens' Lots of Candles, Plenty of Cake. Great essays on aging, the womans' movement and mortality. Going to have to re-read her other non-fictions books now.

I finished The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair that Changed America. I really enjoyed it. The two interwoven stories of the 1893 Chicago World's Fair and the serial killer, who used the influx of young women to Chicago to his advantage, was fascinating.
Thank you stormhawk for recommending it.

We went right to summer. Expecting hight 90's and low 100's this weekend. Hope you are getting some type of spring. Please let me know if you like the book. I am always looking for my next good read. :)

Arnulfo, I have heard of that book. How do you like it?
I am enjoying "The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic and Madness at the Fair that Changed America".

I just got The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair that Changed America.
I'm looking forward to it but have to finish my 3 current books first. Took on a little more tnan I can handle...lol

Arnulfo...you just buzz right thru those books....sorry but I couldn't resist.

Yes it is. That's what makes Madame Bovary worth reading.

I'm reading In the Garden of Beasts. it is about the American ambassador to Germany in 1933. So far it is interesting.
Madame Bovary is worth reading. I read it when I was 14 and I ended up hating Ms. Bovary. I wanted to slap her into the 20th century. It was still the 20th century then.
