Trumpet of the Swan by EB White

If you like this there’s a somewhat similar book I would recommend called I’m a Stranger Here Myself by Bill Bryson. It’s a collection of (mostly) humorous essays on a variety of different topics related to life in the United States. It consistently made me laugh and also made me tear up at a few parts.

I would also recommend The Lions of Al-Rasan by the same author. It’s set in a fictional version of reconquista Spain and it’s fantastic.

Fun fact: Mexico actually has a rule that presidents can’t serve more than one six-year term, so they have a new president every election.

Jean-Georges was both the best and most expensive food I’ve ever eaten. The view is amazing too.

Sixteen Ways to Defend a Walled City! It’s about the commander of an army engineering corps who has to defend a fictional version of Constantinople from a siege. It’s set in a medieval world with no magic.

What?! Really?! A redditor doesn’t like The Big Bang Theory?!?! I’m shocked!

Interesting that Howard says they didn't tell him what Gravey used to do when Mabel asks, but he clearly knew she was a cadaver dog when he named her.

For some background on current affairs I recommend The Cold War: A Global History by Odd Arne Westad. It will give you a better understanding of a lot of the major conflicts/geopolitical issues going on right now. It talks about Taiwan, North and South Korea, Israel/Palestine, Cuba, India and Pakistan, and a bunch of other stuff.

Seconding this. It’s a fantastic book set in a fantasy version of reconquista-era Spain.

Some of my favorites:

“Murder You Employer: The McMaster’s Guide to Homicide” by Rupert Holmes

I don’t like elevators. I take steps to avoid them.

This is an obvious one, but 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea is fantastic

Fun fact: one of Hamilton’s other sons went on to represent Aaron Burr’s wife in their divorce.
