I finished The End of October by Lawrence Wright early this morning before I went to sleep. It's about a fictitious pandemic. The author did his research and some of what he wrote I recognized from having read The Great Influenza by John M. Barry. Lawrence Wright is known for his non-fiction. I'd read The Looming Tower many years back.
I think I'm going to read next The Warmth of Other Suns: The Epic Story of America's Great Migration by Isabel Wilkerson that I've had since the year it came out (2010, I think). She has a new book that looks very good, Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents. I heard two good interviews with her today on podcast with Preet Bahrara and on TV tonight with Lawrence O'Donnell on MSNBC.
