Do you devour fiction like a hungry lion? I do. I’m slower reading nonfiction, though, rarely finishing a nonfiction book in several weeks time. I stop and start and, if I’m persistent enough, I finish the work. Below are three nonfiction reads by Sandberg, Sobel, and Lamont that I’d like to circle back around to and finish.
You can find more reading recommendations here, or check out my nonfiction articles or novel in progress.
Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead
Sheryl Sandberg,
Nell Scovell (Co-Writer)
Surprising facts and an entertaining voice. I’m learning new things about male-female dynamics even after years in male-dominated workplaces.
Longitude
The True Story of a Lone Genius Who Solved the Greatest Scientific Problem of His Time
Dava Sobel,
Neil Armstrong (Foreword)
A fascinating tale of discovery and how one person can affect life forever on this planet. Mankind is forever reaching and endlessly inventive. Pinpointing one’s longitude was and is critical for not only exploration, but for reliable transportation and commerce.
