I finally got through this book. And by that I mean I skipped huge chunks of the middle and read the last ten chapters. Honestly, I don't think I missed anything. I think anyone who picked this book up at the last ten chapters wouldn't miss anything. But seriously - Molasses on a cold day moves fa...

A few weeks later, I saw photographs which a friend took of the same theater, and the majestic description does the bui...
