Best book I read this year. Follow the author as he finds lost and rare art, often "painted over" and forgotten for hundreds of years. Lost paintings by Rembrandt, Norman Rockwell and Winslow Homer are all featured in this whodunit of a story.

So you want to get back to a simpler life? Communicate with nature? Shed the shackles of today's life sitting at a computer for 8 hours each and every day? Be able to fix things? Raise chickens? Gain satisfaction from working with your hands like your father and grandfather? Then this is the book for you.

Ms. Jonnes tells the story of Gustave Eiffel and how he built the iconic Tower just in time for the 1889 World's Fair in Paris. Read this book before you go to Paris, or when you return home. What a symbol of Paris!
