Nonfiction that reads like a thriller
True, and you won't put it down.
Book 1 The Wager
David Grann
READ IT A 1740s shipwreck, a mutiny, and two crews telling opposite stories to save their necks. Grann does not miss. Read it.
Book 2 Poverty, by America
Matthew Desmond
READ IT Short, furious, and hard to argue with: why the richest country keeps so many people poor. Read it and be uncomfortable.
Book 3 The Anxious Generation
Jonathan Haidt
FOR SOME The case against the phone-based childhood. Persuasive, a little overstated. Every grandmother will want to talk about it.
Now tell me what you’re reading. Have you read any of these? Or something better? Bring it to the Reading Room.
