Pooh on Candide, I thought it was the most pointless depressing book ever written. (and I have read some pointless books little women and ann frank to name a few).
Candide is hilarious!. Maybe you just have to know Leibniz and his special brand of philosophy.
hey how
d you like devil and the white city? isn't that about a serial killer?
It was alright. It is non-fiction about a serial killer and the architect of the chicago world fair of 1890's. It is how the lives of these two men were intertwined. It wasn't the best writing, but it was a decent story.
