The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair That Changed America
by
Erik Larson
Karen Kay
, October 22, 2014
This was a fascinating read. Erik Larson has an amazing gift of storytelling. This compelling historical nonfiction reads better than many crime fiction novels. I found myself unable to put it down, fully committed to discovering the unbelievable horrors that once occurred behind the scenes of the 1893 World's Fair.

The Elegance of the Hedgehog
by
Muriel Barbery
Karen Kay
, August 28, 2013
This was one of the most enjoyable books I've read in a long time. A thoughtful balance of humor and wit, sobering realism, and provocative social commentary presented by two seemingly different, yet philosophically similar perspectives of a 54 year old widowed concierge and a 12 year old daughter of a well-to-do family who live in same the building. This book's well written, highly intelligent prose follows a leisurely pace with a gentle charm that engages the heart along with the mind.
