I'm hoping to tackle this list in 2020, I've been wanting to read Caro's LBJ series for a while now.
=====
Robert Caro - Lyndon B. Johnson series & The Power Broker
S.C Gwynne - Empire of the Summer Moon
Nassim Nicholas Taleb - Black Swan & Antifragile
Graham Hancock - America Before
Jared Diamond - Guns, Germs and Steel
Safi Bahcall - Loonshots
- yboris 7y agoStart with Guns, Germs and Steel ;)
- sbolt 7y agoI've had this book recommended to me so many times, I might try and tackle it over the Christmas break.
- therealdrag0 7y agoI found it less interesting than I anticipated, but I think it was because we watched the PBS documentary in HS. So if you're short on time, then you could try that, it seemed to cover all the key bits :)
- sbolt 7y agoOh cool, I wasn’t aware of the PBS documentary, I’ll definitely check it out. Thank you!
- Ozumandias 7y agoThe entire LBJ series and The Power Broker? Ambitious! Caro has a fantastic voice in his writing but by golly he sure does know how to fill a thousand pages!
- sbolt 7y agoYes, it's an ambitious list, Caro is my priority for 2020 so I don't mind spending a large portion of the year on his books. Are there any other books you'd recommend?
