Is anyone else reading "Charlatan"?

I was just reading about the book on a different site, boomer. Sounds very interesting. Let me know if it holds your interest throughout.

The first chapter is downright dazzling. I confess to having a strange fascination with con men and huksters of all sorts but this guy.... wow.

Not long ago I read "Starvation Heights" and couldn't believe it but this book puts it to shame.

Not only does it seem to be very well researched, it's gossipy fun and well written. An amazing piece of American history.

If you like that sort of book, boomer, then you can not go wrong with Jack Black's classic "You Can't Win."

One of my all time favorite books

Ohhh that looks good. Next time I hit Powell's or place a book order that will be on my list. Thanks!

Funny thing. Reading about it reminded me so much of my dad because we used to say "Dad, what the f***?" and he would reply, no matter the situation "Because that's where the money is."

Willie Sutton was his hero.

All the kids in my family say "That's where the money is" when the answer seems otherwise obvious.

<sigh> powells.....

I forgot that I was going to come back with a book report!

I thought it was absolutely fascinating.

sounds great, but i haven't read it yet
