The Devil in the White City:  Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair That Changed America

Fascinating book about the World's fair era of the city. (Read Sinclair's Jungle prior to it for an idea of what the city was like when Fair planning began.) Excellent research tied into a nice flowing story. Make you want to head right over to the site and take a closer look at Chicago's layout and modern architecture.
