Happy reading! Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo - by Captain Ted W. Lawson:
What a fascinating and engaging book. The prose slips along without a bump. Right away you are placed into the story and learn much about the Air Force pilot’s service in the 1942 Doolittle Raid on Tokyo. Anyone who enjoys reading military history would find themselves in good company with this book. Spencer Tracy, Van Johnson, and Robert Mitchum starred in the 1944 film of the same name.
The Life and Art of Norman Rockwell - by Deborah Soloman:
According to this book, Rockwell lived an interesting life; he had his troubles, his quirks; his busy times, his lean times. Some would say that his art has long been a source of wonder and pleasure. Rockwell was a man of many dimensions. Art enthusiast or not, readers who enjoy biographies would be swept away by this one.
Reporting At Wit’s End: Tales from The New Yorker - by St. Clair McKelway:
Nonfiction readers would get lost in this mammoth collection. There are eighteen pieces here, all of them showing the author’s range and versatility and graceful prose style. For me, this book was an education in creative writing and first-rate storytelling.
Aspirin: The Remarkable Story of a Wonder Drug – by Diarmuid Jeffreys:
The creation, marketing, and distribution (and benefits) of aspirin make for some story indeed—a story of brilliant minds at work. The narrative will snag your attention right away and never let go.
