"One Summer: America, 1927" by Bill Bryson

I don't think Bryson could write enough books for my life. I am glad I haven't sought them out as I might wish to because, knowing there are more of his works out there to discover gives me a great joy. "One Summer" walks the reader through the remarkable and dramatic events of 1927, primarily the summer months. From Babe Ruth and the Murderer's Row Yankees, to Lindbergh's cross Atlantic Flight, the bombing of an elementary school, the Mississippi River flooding and the political goings on, the book skims shallow then dives deep into the personalities, precipitating events and fallout of what was, truly, an incredibly news filled summer. I love the way Bryson weaves anecdotes and unforseen side effects into the through-line of his story-telling. It's like a beautifully composed orchestral piece. Give me more Bryson, but take your time doing it. I want to savor this.
