I started reading Gotham: a History of New York City to 1898 by Edmund G. Burrows and Mike Wallace. I'm reading on kindle, but I have the hardcover. It was sent to me by a member of the former New York Times History Books forum. I got out the hardcover yesterday, and it's intimidating. I doubt that I will read this straight through, at 1200+ pages.
Recently I read Updike's Witches of Eastwick and Penelope Fitgerald's The Bookshop. Didn't care much for either of them.
