Chicago Nonfiction 2005

Over at Gapers Block, the ever-resourceful Alice Maggio recaps the best Chicago-related nonfiction titles of 2005. Below are the ones I'm quite interested in.

Courtroom 302: A Year Behind the Scenes in an American Criminal Courthouse, by Steve Bogira

Revealing Chicago: An Aerial Portrait, by Terry Evans

Another Way Home: The Tangled Roots of Race in One Chicago Family, by Ronne Hartfield

Chicagoland: City and Suburbs in the Railroad Age, by Ann Durkin Keating

Citizen: Jane Addams and the Struggle for Democracy, by Louise Knight

Writers on the Air: Conversations about Books, by Donna Seaman

Big Bill of Chicago, by Lloyd Wendt and Herman Kogan

Fantastic...the pile just jumped another two feet in height. 2006 is already shaping up as a year of unprecedented hermitic unproductivity for me.
