Nonfiction: The Big Roads: The Untold Story of the Engineers, Visionaries, and Trailblazers Who Created the American Superhighway by Earl Swift.

A fascinating look into the development of the US interstate highway system. Starts with a brief history of the VERY early days of the automotive industry and describes some of the early "roads" people traveled. It would definitely take a hardy soul to venture onto the early roads! The bulk of the book talks about the US interstate system, including many of the key players. Also describes some of the controversies caused by the intended routes originally planned for several interstates.

Definitely an enjoyable book, and one that clearly shows the value of an unlimited subscription plan, as I doubt I would have ever purchased this book, yet very much enjoyed reading it.

Nonfiction: Antarctica: An Intimate Portrait of a Mysterious Continent by Gabrielle Walker. Have you ever wondered what it's like to experience the bitter cold and desolation of Antarctica? What kind of person would go there during their long winter, and perhaps go year after year? This is an enjoyable read about various scientists in Antarctica. Keep your coat on!

Fiction: Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen. The narrated version is available for this book at no cost, and it is excellent.

Enjoy!
