Will do. My favorite history podcaster Dan Carlin falls into that journalist not historian category. Often they portray history the best

I would like to someday visit both Galveston and Johnstown!

I honestly didn’t know which brother to side with the whole book. Neither is bad. Isaac is over confident but not necessarily arrogant. He did seem to be the better weather observer overall, though Joseph was correct about the hurricane. Joseph, it was stated, wasn’t overly impressive in any manner, but seemed to be a diligent worker. Joseph was envious of Isaac’s success, and Isaac saw Joseph as almost a trigger as it pertains to his wife’s death. It was a really bizarre dynamic honestly. Sad they ended up never reconciling.

I’m big into non-fiction and to me it can be similar to reading good fiction. Good writing is good writing regardless of the genre. As readers, isn’t that what we are after? For example, dry history can be extremely dull, but when written well can be extremely addictive. A few good titles that come to mind are The Devil In The White City by Erik Larson and Rubicon by Tom Holland. Same with science. I read The Book of Eels by Patrik Svensson and found it one of my favorite reads. It helps to have some interest in a topic, but for the most part good writing in most forms is a pleasure to read.
