A lot of the books added have nothing whatsoever to do with floods or flooded towns?

Hm, I'm taking a look through the books now. Are there specific titles on the list you're referencing?

A lot of the non-fiction ones about towns and cities. Nothing to do with floods or flooding. Passing Gas is about small towns with weird names. There are also a lot of books about Venice, but not about Venice being flooded.

Good eye! I removed:

Flood (irony!)
Passing Gas: And Other Towns along the American Highway
Cities: The First 6,000 Years
Garbage In The Cities: Refuse Reform and the Environment
The Death and Life of Great American Cities

Are there other non-fiction books without floods in? I read a ton of the descriptions (and added quite a few to my TBR list tbh). Which specific books about Venice avoid the water? I haven't read any of the Venice-specific books.

ETA: The Lost Cities of Africa: yay or nay? I cannot tell a thing from the description.

I must honestly say I can't remember all that much about The Mill on the Floss (#59), as I read it a long, long time ago. But as it was already on the list, I voted for it.

I remember the river really does flood in Floss, so I’m fine with it. But I had to think for a second there. I don’t want to get into judging amount or quality of floods for this list, so I’m good on it.

Thank you to everyone adding books to this list! These books look so good!

Most of these stories are about towns being flooded by hurricanes, tsunamis and other water disasters.

Can we also include books on the Great Molasses Flood?
