I read mostly non-fiction: true crime, WWI and WWI history, and random history. Bonus points if it's narrative non-fiction, regardless of the topic. I really love history to get an understanding of what happened before us that helped shape our lives today. What I'm looking for now to switch it up a little is:
- History on older companies that are household staples such as Folgers, Pillsbury, etcetera. (those books don't exist, I already looked, but giving you an idea of the theme I'm after.) I already have read a book about the Kellogg brothers.
- Books about interesting stories from the late 1800s/early 1900s, perhaps formative aristocrats that helped shape America. (I already read Anderson Cooper's books about Vanderbilt and the Astors, but again, to give you an idea of the theme I'm after.)
- Wholesome history in general – I have a book about the history of how American bookshops got started. (Again, to give you the kind of theme I desire.)
- Any suggestions of history books you loved, regardless of the topic would be appreciated.
Thank you for taking time to offer suggestions! 😃
