Ultimate Goliath Summer

NonFiction

One Summer: America, 1927 by Bill Bryson.  More research and writing.  Author Duane Swierczynski wrote, "#nowreading Bill Bryson's amazing ONE SUMMER. Pretty much every paragraph is jammed with surprising or eyebrow raising details."  Swierczynski also wrote "Had to bite my tongue when nice older lady complained to me about the proliferation of social media. 'All this twittering and twatting...'"

David and Goliath: underdogs, misfits, and the art of battling giants by Malcom Gladwell.

A House in the Sky by Amanda Linhout and Sara Corbett.  Linhout was captured in Somalia and held captive for 460 days.

Ultimate Harely-Davidson: new edition by Hugo Wilson.  Wilson has been writing motorcycle books for Dorling Kindersley for years.  These are always fun.

Fiction

Gone by James Patterson and Michael Ledwidge.  Same author photo of Patterson where the camera shutter snapped at 12:52.
