Their fates were linked by the magical Chicago World’s Fair of 1893, nicknamed the “White City” for its majestic beauty. Architect Daniel Burnham built it; serial killer Dr. H. H. Holmes used it to lure victims to his World’s Fair Hotel, designed for murder. Both men left behind them a powerful legacy, one of brilliance and energy, the other of sorrow and darkness.
Albany Book Discussion Group
The purpose of this book group is to read a variety of books and share your thoughts about the readings. So if you love books and enjoy talking about them, you are in the right place!
You may find that you do not like all the books that are chosen for discussion. You may disagree with something that another member of the group has said. It’s okay to disagree, but please be polite and respectful of others whose opinions differ from your own.
Please only one person speaks at a time, and be mindful of the moderator’s suggestions.
It is important to keep on topic, but feel free to introduce information that is relevant to the discussion (historical facts, biographical details, book background, related authors or topics, etc.)
Everyone is encouraged to participate in the discussions.
Anyone attending the book club is welcome to make suggestions for a future book selection. So if you have a favorite book that you think the club would be interested in reading and discussing, let us know and we will certainly consider it!
