Daveski posted:I just finished The Lost City of Z and really enjoyed the parts about Victorian-era England, specifically some of the crazy inventors and other eccentric figures like Sir Francis Galton or Helena Blavatsky. Anyone have suggestions for further reading along those lines? Either biographies of specific people or more general books on Victorian life would be great. Seconding this! Right now, I'm reading Gold warriors: America's secret recovery of Yamashita's gold and would love more books on this subject as well. Thanks goons!

I just read Murder City: Ciudad Juarez and the Global Economy's New Killing Fields by Charles Bowden. Anyone have any suggestions on books that go into the Mexican drug trade and it's correlation to tourism there?

My last few reads have been Murder City by Charles Bowden, Sweetness and Blood by Michael Scott Moore, The Man Who Loved Books Too Much by Allison Hoover Bartlett, The Lost City of Z & The Devil and Sherlock Holmes by David Grann. If any of you have any recommendations similar to any of those above, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks goons!

screenwritersblues posted:I'm just a few chapters shy of finishing Susan Casey's The Wave and I'm really in love with it. Are there any books that are similiar to it, written like it or have similar topics that relate to this book. I'm reading this right now as well, and have been geeking out over it. A while back, I finished Sweetness and Blood which pretty much goes over the history of surfing, how it spread, and travels to different countries. I think The Wave is tons better, but if you're interested in surfing/travels/a little history you might enjoy it. I need a gift suggestion though, goons. She just finished reading The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo series and greatly enjoyed it. She recently read The Help for a book club, and a couple others that she's enjoyed that come to mind are The Lovely Bones and The Blind Side. I can get you more recent reads if needed, but those are just what come to mind first thought.

Anything else along the same vein as The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein?

Going to try this one more time - Anyone have any recommendations for something along the same vein as The Devil's teeth or The Wave by Susan Casey?
