A reader question:
I have enjoyed your site for years.
My wife, who has a rather stressful job, is looking for non-demanding non-fiction for summer reading. Are there any relevant posts on this subject? Thank you.

A few recommendations of some non-fiction I've particularly enjoyed in recent years: "The Wide Wide Sea" and "In the Kingdom of Ice", both by Hampton Sides; "The Wager" by David Grann; "The Art Thief" by Michael Finkel; and "A Land So Strange: The Epic Journey of Cabeza De Vaca" by Andres Resendez. Highly entertaining, eminently readable, and you might even learn something along the way!
ReplyDeleteA few summer vacations ago I loved “White House by the Sea,” about the Kennedys in Hyannis Port. This year I like the bipartisan look at life, love and tragedy in the 60s — 80s, “Called to Serve” by Reagan Cabinet secretary Donald Hodel.
