Paris

I spent 12, yes 12 hours reading Paris: A Novel by Edward Rutherfurd. Paris is a big city so I guess it means a big book. The story starts out with Thomas working with the architect Eiffel on the right hand of Lady Liberty, specifically her thumb. Later in the story, Thomas, who also worked on the Eiffel Tower, will cut the elevator cables so that Adolph Hitler will not be able to view Paris from the Tower. He knew Hitler would be too humiliated to walk the stairs. Although long, this was a fascinating story about families, feuds, bankers and whores, and families.
