Book Riot's 100 Must Read Books in and About Chicago - Page 2

From the original description: Ah, Chicago. The Windy City. The Second City. The Best City in the United States of America. The City with the Best Skyline, Certainly Better Than New York or Whatever. The City with the Best Pizza. The City of Hot Dogs, No Ketchup.
We've got 100 books in and about Chicago. We have fiction, nonfiction, and — bonus! — plays and poetry. Mystery, coming-of-age, adventure, history, sociology, race, class. We have it all. Oh, and a book about the 1985 Bears and another about Michael Jordan, because duh. Ever hear of a swell guy named Barack Obama? He's from Chicago.
