History

[(Anonymous)]

Thanks to whoever it was on this comm who recommended Radium Girls, by Kate Moore. I was up until 1:30 a.m. last night reading it. Not finished, but it is a great, compelling read, although it's breaking my heart a bit (okay, a lot).

Anyone else have any recommendations for non-fiction/history novels?

I'll have to check out Radium Girls!

Uhmm...this one's a memoir, and the main reason I recommend it is because it's incredibly...arresting? I was wrapped up in the story very much:
-Hellfire: The Jerry Lee Lewis Story by Nick Tosches
I didn't know who the guy was, but now I do lol.
-Eastern Europe!: Everything You Need to Know About the History (and More) of a Region that Shaped Our World and Still Does by Tomek E. Jankowski >> SO MUCH INFORMATION and written in a way that keeps you engaged. Very interesting,e specially if you have little to no knowledge on the subject.

Nonfiction:
-Mary Roach is a great author, I've read Stiff, book on the history and our relationship with dead bodies
-Pox: An American History is also very interesitng, if you're into medical history/public health, etc.

I couldn't resist, if you wanted to venture into a sort of historical fiction: Boy, Snow, Bird by Helen Oyeyemi; it takes place between the 1940s to 1960s in the American Northeast, and touches on many themes and...I almost want to say it looks in on the interpersonal relationships people have, how they are affected by society's views on things like race, sex, etc. , and how things change within all these contexts...

Hope you find something to fill your fancy.

I've read Pox, and it is a great read! I didn't intend to read the book, but I picked it up and read the prologue and was immediately hooked. Really liked the mix of accessible stories and the more in-depth medical info.

I will definitely check out Stiff - sounds like it's up my alley, and the others sound good too. Thanks again!
