Non-Fiction Reading Thread


Recommended Posts

Since I consider Larry McMurtry one of our greatest living Americans, and as such was inspired to be a book collector, I felt like we should have a non-fiction reading thread. Currently I’m reading Pandora’s Box  by Jorn Leonard, which is a WWI history just translated into English by one of Germany’s top historians. I’m also starting on A.G. Hopkins’ American Empire, with high hopes.

I just finished again Jim Lovell's Lost Moon.  I couldn't find my copy so I ordered a new (to me) copy off of Amazon.  When it arrived I opened and what do you know?  It was a signed copy by Jim himself.  I don't know who the hell Sam and Sabrina are, but I'm not giving it back!

This book came highly recommended. About Milwaukee, its status as the most segregated city in modern America and the cycle of poverty that slum lords can perpetuate.

I really enjoyed that one, and Janesville: An American Story, and Glass House in similar books.
