But there's nonfiction and then there's nonfiction. Tim Tyson's Blood Done Sign My Name is written by a historian with the soul of a novelist. It will make you think. Others though I've often thought were no better than Sunday Times sketches. A book on polio comes to mind (it won a Pulitzer!). So thanks for putting these thoughts down.Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00974560719588849769noreply@blogger.com
