Reading/listening to Truman by David McCullough currently.
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. -
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. -
Went on a little STEM jag a couple months ago. Should have read all in book than listen but I can’t read. Doomsday was probably best of these.

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.
