Only 35 pages in. So far enjoying - love the industrialization - learned Chicago became first of skyscrapers - ambition, burnham has that drive in him and ambition to succeed - has to lock in to create this fair now in what doesn’t seem to be a large time frame

The Holmes chapters get really engaging and interesting and want me craving more then it goes back to the burnham chapters, which are good but not as engaging at times

So far still trudging along - pretty interesting stuff, does drag a bit sometimes but pretty good grasp on things and good notes - enjoying some of the contrasts, both men have ambition and drive but for 2 separate things good/evil
