I don't recall when it was, but for the book club, we did read a book by Simon Winchester. The description didn't make the book sound all that interesting. It was about the making of the Oxford Dictionary and it did turn out to be very well written and very interesting.

I voted for A Crack in the Edge of the World because of Simon Winchester.
