so-so2.5/5 stars. This book is less about the victims and survivors of the fire and too much about every guy trying to make it up the ladder at Tammany Hall.

Day 6: A Shape In The Title. I know Unknown Quantity doesn't have a shape in the title (technically but it does have parentheses) but it has an 'x' on the cover so I included it. #junebookbugs @RealLifeReading

My current read fits today's theme. Aside from the incredible, horrifically detailed, minute by minute synopsis of the fire itself (the worst workplace disaster until 9/11), there is a tremendous amount of engaging history on the labor movement, early 20th-century immigration, and the Progressives. I highly recommend it!

pickThough this got a little repetitive at times, the familiar story of the fire itself was nicely framed within the larger context of political machinations, labor struggles, the history of Jewish immigration to the US, feminism and the suffragist movement, and legal history. There was a lot to this story that I knew nothing about, and I enjoyed learning more.
