![]() ![]() ![]() One of the few books that I do remember reading-it had no illustrations-was Anonymous (20th Century), by the Italian architect Leonardo Ricci. These inexpensive monographs introduced me to the work of Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe, Alvar Aalto, Pier Luigi Nervi, Louis Kahn, and Eero Saarinen. That was certainly true of the two George Braziller series, Masters of World Architecture and Makers of Contemporary Architecture. That was the case with most of my architecture books, which were less for reading than for examining the plans and photographs. I don’t know that I ever read the text straight through it was Wright’s beautiful drawings that attracted me. I was 18 and in the second year of architecture school. That was in 1961, two years after the old man had died. The first architecture book I bought was Frank Lloyd Wright’s A Testament. ![]()

Lu is writing for the girl's side in the literacy challenge. Sparling notices that Lu is a fantastic writer and asks her to join the anonymous newspaper column.

For example, when i found out he was scoop, i replayed the ice-skating scene in my head and how Luisa, (i'm still not entirely sure how to say her name), thought the girl that Tyler was with was the one Scoop was calling easy but it was HER! And also at the carnival she proved it by kissing Joey out of no where to rub it in Tyler's face. Review 1: I loved how the writer made you think it could have been either Mac or Tyler but then all of a sudden Joey is thrown into the mix and you start going over everything he said in the book and realize that it WAS him. ![]() ![]() ![]() It is a short book, only 400 pages or so with equal weight to each chapter of his life, from his childhood to his presidency. ![]() ![]() The result is an affectionate, though clear-sighted, biography of Kennedy charting his path from sickly second son of Joseph Kennedy Senior, to President of the United States.

So, for those who have not read the previous installments, it is definitely worth your while to do so. This book can not be read as a stand alone. However, now that the latest book in the saga has been released, I finally found myself feeling up to the challenge of tackling this one. It is just not the type of book you can read on autopilot, and since the book is so long, I decided to wait until I could give it the attention it deserves. I have started reading it on three different occasions, and abandoned it all three times, for many reasons- the main one being that these books are usually pretty dense, and I don’t mean that in a bad way.
