Reading *a lot* of non-fiction lately.
Finished "A Voyage Long and Strange" by Tony Horwitz this afternoon - earlier I read his "Confederates in the Attic".
It's a look at what happened in the United States between Christopher Columbus and Plymouth Rock. An interesting look at how much of the United States was visited and explored between these two events. Some I knew. Some I didn't. Not much you will find in your typical High School History text books.
I started to read another history non-fiction "Lies My Teacher Told Me" by James W. Loewen when I heard an interview on National Public Radio with the author of "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks", Rebecca Skloot. I found the story interesting enough that I fired up the Kindle and downloaded the book. So far very interesting.
