Bloodlands
A difficult book that takes a long time to digest. This tome was the first of books I didn’t finish due to the depth of its vocabulary and the amount of detail included. Overall, it’s insightful for a historian, but not something I would recommend to the casual reader.
Skid Road
Insightful book on the history of Seattle. Stories of the development of Harborview Medical Center, the University of Washington, and other large institutions were eye-opening even for someone who lived here. The stories tended to drag on with added information and while thought-provoking was sometimes boring.
