I almost bought this, but the writing didn’t thrill me. Now I wish I had because I think I could overlook some flaws for the sake of learning about these eunuchs. They were quite clever from what I did read. Sort of like Shakespeare’s fools in that they’re every bit as wise, if not more so than their “superiors.”

Architecture Building at Night

I recently finished reading Erik Larson’s The Devil in the White City and have been enthralled with the story and magnificent architecture at the World’s Colombian Exposition of 1893. Seems there isn’t anything on this scale nowadays.
