Since I consider Larry McMurtry one of our greatest living Americans, and as such was inspired to be a book collector, I felt like we should have a non-fiction reading thread. Currently I’m reading Pandora’s Box  by Jorn Leonard, which is a WWI history just translated into English by one of Germany’s top historians. I’m also starting on A.G. Hopkins’ American Empire, with high hopes.

I just finished again Jim Lovell's Lost Moon.  I couldn't find my copy so I ordered a new (to me) copy off of Amazon.  When it arrived I opened and what do you know?  It was a signed copy by Jim himself.  I don't know who the hell Sam and Sabrina are, but I'm not giving it back!

Great thread. I have a weird quirk where I don’t like to read fiction, so I am always on the lookout for a great non-fiction book.

pretty sure this book stretches what is non-fiction, but read through Titanic Thompson: The Man Who Bet on Everything.

fun read to see just how hard this man hustled and the golf tie-ins with players like Trevino and Floyd.  I think Harvey Penick was mentioned in there as well.

This book came highly recommended. About Milwaukee, its status as the most segregated city in modern America and the cycle of poverty that slum lords can perpetuate.

I really enjoyed that one, and Janesville: An American Story, and Glass House in similar books.
