Ragtime

I finished book #335, Ragtime by E.L. Doctorow, this afternoon. It ended up being a thoroughly engrossing book, and the short chapters made it easy to say "I'll just read one more." Among all the famous characters were two unnamed families who were caught up in the middle of all the important events happening at the dawn of the 20th century. We see the assassination of Franz Ferdinand, many of Houdini's amazing feats, the trial of Harry K Thaw, and event a tiny bit of the Mexican Revolution. I very much enjoyed reading this book.
