Fiction
- Night Over the Solomons, Louis Lamour
A rollicking read of daring exploits of GIs in the Pacific Theater (fictional).
Louis Lamour writes well; excellent light reading.
- Tales of the South Pacific, James Michener
Tales of quirky characters in the South Pacific, during wartime and after it. James Michener can spin a good yarn, and he totally immerses you in the place. I read Hawaii (and almost got to finishing it) and got on a Hawaii / Pacific kick a couple years ago. It is a surprisingly rich and enjoyable sub-genre of literature.
Non-fiction
They say truth is stranger than fiction. You couldn't find a better example than this tale set in Silicon Valley.
- Bad Blood, John Carreyrou
I'm late to the party, but better late than never. It shows how low seemingly ordinary people can stoop, but also, how high seemingly ordinary people can reach. It also is an example of how utterly ordinary our so-called leaders are.
