Holy thread resurrection, Batman! I recommend “The Boys the the Boat” as a fantastic and incredibly well written and interesting summer read.

Almost done with Walter Isaacson’s The Codebreaker about the creation of CRISPR.
Fascinating look at the world of academic genetic research and other relevant topics.
My first Isaacson book. Will definitely be reading more of his work.

Reading Storm of Steel by Ernst Junger. Fascinating look at WW1 from the perspective of the German infantryman.
Kind of reminds me of the Cruel Sea by Nicholas Monsarrat except it’s non fiction.
If you like Cruel Sea you will like this.
If your looking for a good book set in the Vietnam war era The Sympathizer by Viet Thanh Nguyen. That was an amazing book I read last year.
Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett

Follett is one of those many authors who I have never read but have books by them on my too read list. I will get there one day.
So many books so little time.
