Spring Break reading list

Submitted by BlueMan80 on
Spring Break season will soon be upon us and we'll all need a good book to read while laying on the beach or by a pool.  Personally, sunshine and warm weather sounds really good right now and I'm still a month away from escaping winter.  This topic has been put forth periodically and the board has provided a list of great book suggestions.

I like to read fiction and non-fiction books.  I've been on a non-fiction run the past few years, so to start the ball rolling, here's some books I've read over past Spring Break vacations.

What are you reading that's worth a recommendation?

The Lost City of Z - David Grann
   Search for a great lost civilization in the Amazon
All the Devils Are Here - Bethany McLean and Joe Nocera
   Explains how the financial crisis happened in 2008
A Voyage Long and Strange - Tony Horowitz
   The discovery of the new world
Uranium - Tom Zoellner
   All about the nuclear era starting with the element itself
Manhunt - James L. Swanson
   The capture of John Wilkes Booth
Survival of the Sickest - Dr. Sharon Moalem with Jonathan Prince
   How disease is actually important to human evolution

Just finished a book on organizational culture by Edgar schein that was pretty fascinating, but that’s more research related.

Previously finished “this wheels on fire - Levon Helm and the story of The Band” - great read on one of the best bands ever.
