For anyone interested in the story of lighthouses and their keepers (focused on the Americas with a few scattered stories of elsewhere), I'd highly recommend Brilliant Beacons by Eric Jay Dolin (https://www.amazon.com/Brilliant-Beacons-History-American-Lighthouse-ebook/dp/B00ZAT8WIS https://www.amazon.com/Brilliant-Beacons-History-American-Li...). He writes history books that are full of anecdotes and interesting, well-researched primary sources. Hardly any of the information in the books are discoverable online, and realizing that is largely what inspired me to get into reading again.
