I am so excited that this book is finally out. I read a review in Bust magazine a few months ago and couldn't wait to read it. I'm only about 60 pages into it, but I'm loving it! It's about the Everleigh sisters, who, in 1907, owned the most well-known and high class brothel in the city of Chicago. It reads like a fiction novel because it's so interesting, and there is a good amount of dialogue (all of which was actually spoken). The characters are such... characters! They're all just a little off. It's so fascinating to me that all these things happened just a few blocks away from my apartment. I wish the Everleigh sisters were still around... I would love to have a conversation with them!
Since I am finally done with Practicum I and only have one project left to finish for my Reading and Language Theory class, I decided to spend the evening relaxing with the latest issue of my favorite magazine, Bust .
