为什么值得读
- 笔法极具小说感，阅读体验引人入胜
- 详述1893年芝加哥世博会的历史细节
- 非虚构纪实却兼具悬念与娱乐性
封底文案：Erik Larson 这部引人入胜的畅销书生动再现了1893年前后的芝加哥，将两个男人的真实故事交织在一起——一位是传奇的1893年世博会幕后才华横溢的建筑师，他竭力为美国奠定世界地位；另一位则是狡黠的连环杀手，利用世博会引诱受害者走向死亡。Erik Larson 将严谨详实的研究与令人屏息的叙事融为一体，打造出一部兼具新发掘历史之奇观与顶级小说之惊险的叙事杰作。

虽然跟技术无关，但我超喜欢 Larson 的《白城恶魔》（Devil in the White City）和 Pirsig 的《禅与摩托车维修艺术》（Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance）。另外，我今年把《Rework》重读了大概 3 遍。每次读都既轻松又过瘾。
Not tech related, but I loved Devil in the White City by Larson and Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Pirsig. Also, I reread Rework about 3 times this year. Always a good and quick read.

……配合 PAIP 一起读。我还在断断续续地看《计算机程序的构造和解释》（SICP，这书不用多介绍了）、GEB（同上），以及《编程人生》（Coders At Work，读了让人感到谦卑）。还有 Erik Larson 的《白城恶魔》（The Devil In The White City），读起来相当过瘾。
…with PAIP. I'm also off-and-on reading Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs (which needs no introduction), GEB (the same), and Coders At Work (which is humbling). And Erik Larson's The Devil In The White City which is pretty entertaining.
……科学与工业博物馆。这是我小时候（大概 1960 年前后）最喜欢的家庭度假去处之一。Erik Larson 那本扣人心弦的《白城恶魔》（Devil in the White City）写的就是 1893 年哥伦布世博会。
…Museum of Science and Industry. This was one of my favorite family vacation destinations as a child (around 1960). The 1893 Columbian World's Fair is written about in the fascinating book by Erik Larson, Devil in the White City.
去年春天我读了 Erik Larson 的《白城恶魔：改变美国的世博会上的谋杀、魔幻与疯狂》（The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair That Changed America）。讲的就是 1893 年那届芝加哥世博会。虽然是非虚构作品，但笔法像小说一样。我超级喜欢，简直怎么推荐都……
Last Spring I read Erik Larson's The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair That Changed America. It's about the same 1893 World's Fair in Chicago. It's non-fiction, but written in a novelistic style. I absolutely loved it, I can't recommend…
《白城恶魔》（Devil in the White City）读起来非常有趣，讲述了 1893 年芝加哥世博会的筹划与举办。期间还穿插了同时来到这座城市的连环变态杀手的故事。https://www.amazon.com/Devil-White-City-Madness-Changed/dp/0...
"Devil in the White City" is a very fun read which covers the planning and execution of the Chicago World's fair in 1893. It also is interleaved with a tale of a psychopathic murderer who came to town at the same time. https://www.amazon.com/Devil-White-City-Madness-Changed/dp/0...
