We had a great discussion Wednesday about Sing, Unburied, Sing.

We love Doris Kearns Goodwin!



How

Biography definitely counts, Ray. I've not read that one yet, but I've had a couple people recommend it.

Reviving this thread -- What's the best nonfiction you've read lately?

Boom Town by Sam Anderson surprised me in the best possible ways. I don't know much about Oklahoma City -- never even visited -- or basketball, but this book taught me and made me care about both.

This is a thread to share our thoughts and questions about the First Wednesday discussion books.

Jan 2 A Gentleman in Moscow
Feb 6 What The Qu'ran Meant
March 6 Norwegian Wood
