Flaggy posted:Seriously, I can't name all of them. Please feel free to recommend some, post what you like, seriously, ANYTHING Non-Fiction! Let me recommend Salt, Cod, and The Basque History of the World by Mark Kurlansky. Kurlansky is a journalist with very readable and engaging prose and looking at broad world history through a particular lens is always interesting. I got distracted and haven't checked back in for a decade or so, but he's clearly written more: http://www.markkurlansky.com/books.aspx ulmont fucked around with this message at 23:13 on Aug 20, 2020 |
