Another breezy explainer/debunker book. I like to read these. It's something I like to do. The author reads it for the audiobook, and he sounds like a less-annoying John Oliver.

If one likes this genre, strong recommend. I enjoyed it quite a bit and learned some things.
@swaye@GrundleStiltzkin if you liked the canal book, the Brooklyn Bridge book is just as essential. Bodies being stacked like cordwood from the bends in the caissons.

Pretty sure I did read this one. In an actual book no less.

Book better than movie, and I liked the movie despite the cheese. The book’s tone is inspirational and aspirational. My interest tailed off a little after the midpoint. Much less focus on space race than you’d expect.
I can’t remember whether I’ve brought this one up before. Before I lost the ability, read this one in the Gutenberg fashion. Basically an overview of nuke weapons fuck ups over the years, centered around the Titan missile accident in Arkansas in early 80s. https://share.libbyapp.com/title/1265394

He's a wordy son of a bitch but he spins a good yarn.
Shoutout to @YellowSnow for reco on this. Love TR and book delivers. However, listening to it during this election week was kinda sad.
