Thanks for the tip on the Cowie book. I’m always curious about how an author ties a big thing to a little thing. BTW when I listen to nonfiction I’ve found it useful to check out a copy from the library so I can easily revisit an interesting section of the text or learn more about the author’s sources and methods.
Thanks for the previews Jeremy. I had Prometheus on my TBR from Pulitzer and will add the other.
I Appreciate the background on the human side of AP and wondered if it might be paired well with another Pulitzer – ‘the making of the atomic bomb’ from a science standpoint. Both on my list but I have not Done enough background to decide when to get to them.
I love that American Prometheus made your list! I only found out about this gem from Mustich's 1,000 Books to Read Before You Die a couple years back, and I too decided to take it on through audiobook, which isn't my usual. I loved it. Never would've thought I'd find the topic so fascinating, but it was a true winner.

Two more for the TBR 😉
What would you say rates as all-American fiction? Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men and Jack London's White Fang would be high on the list for me.
