I didn't like it as much as it was hyped. It's a decent story just not great.
Currently still in "The Devil in the White City". Once it got nice out, I started spending more time on my yard and doing outdoor things and its really knocked me off the pace I was on. I have 3 more books on deck and if I buy another one, my wife will kill me.

I start reading about an hour before I go to bed and continue 15-30 minutes in bed until I'm ready to sleep.I’d love to read more…. when does everyone find time? Most probably do it before bed, but I can only get through a couple pages usually and I’m out. It would take me forever to get through a book.
I picked up The Splendid and the Vile the other day. It’s on my pile of books I need to read next.I liked The Devil in the White City a lot, but if I'm being honest it's probably my 3rd or 4th favorite Erik Larson book. The guy definitely has a style, but The Splendid and the Vile, In the Garden of Beasts, and Dead Wake are all better if you ask me.
The Grapes of Wrath - Steinbeck
Should have read it years ago.
I think The Three Body Problem is a type of Sci Fi that just isn't for me, at a high level. I didn't hate it but it is more in the vein of the the guy who writes the Martian, where I think he's actually more interested in the technology and how a thing would happen as opposed to actually telling a story. It's very hard sci fi. The Expanse series is about as hard as I get on sci fi, I'm kind of more of a space opera guy.

Yeah, that must be my jam. I loved project hail Mary as well. I don't think I have ever read a space opera. What should I try first?
Just saw yesterday that Keanu Reeves is signed to star in the streaming series Devil in the White City with Scorcese and DiCaprio producing. Not sure how I feel about Reeves. It was originally going to be a feature film directed by Scorcese and staring Leo.I liked The Devil in the White City a lot, but if I'm being honest it's probably my 3rd or 4th favorite Erik Larson book. The guy definitely has a style, but The Splendid and the Vile, In the Garden of Beasts, and Dead Wake are all better if you ask me.
Maybe some David Weber? Mutineer's Moon or if you get real ambitious try the safehold series.Yeah, that must be my jam. I loved project hail Mary as well. I don't think I have ever read a space opera. What should I try first?
I’m the exact opposite. Loved Devil in the white city but the others I don’t know are maybe too detailed? Never read Isaacs storm might try that.I liked The Devil in the White City a lot, but if I'm being honest it's probably my 3rd or 4th favorite Erik Larson book.
