The author of the book I am reading is Karen Blumenthal. The title of the book is, Six Days In October. This book a non fictional story of when the first stock market crashed in 1929. I am actually liking this book. I like this book for the time era it was set in. A lot of important parts of history happened in the 1900's. I like how it just doesn't only talk about the stock market crash on Wall street. The book has a lot of information about the culture in New York at that time

So far in the book America seems like a very wealthy place to be. Everyone is happy and rich with money. The pictures in the book show odd looking cartoons that have to do with how well the citizens of United States were doing.
