Dan Rather Book Recommendations & Book Mentions

I’m nearly finished with the first of Cormac McCarthy's two new books, THE PASSENGER. It's a deep read, centering on life’s big questions woven into a mystery story. Going to finish it before even trying to critique it, for whatever if anything that might be worth.

Thank you @UCPLNC for recommending the graphic novel version of WHAT UNITES US. We are very honored. We love libraries, as people will see from reading the book, they're a big part of #WhatUnitesUs. (Oh, and we love independent bookstores too!) https://twitter.com/UCPLNC/status/1472280552434814978

Reading Douglas Brinkley’s new book, SILENT SPRING REVOLUTION. It's an important work, brilliantly researched and written. Tells the underreported story of John Kennedy, Rachel Carson, Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon and the rise of the environmental protection movement.

When writing a memoir, it helps to have a life of consequence. @carlbernstein is an intrepid reporter whose work shaped history. Understanding how his journey began is fascinating, made more so by his beautiful writing. His new book CHASING HISTORY is compelling and elegant.

An important read. Timely. Urgent. Necessary.

I'm eager to read Dr. Elizabeth Alexander’s new book “The Trayvon Generation.” Dr. Alexander is an acclaimed scholar and poet. She's also a superb writer and unusually well-qualified to lead us to meditate and learn about the intersections of art, poetry, history and race. https://t.co/FhV5AWxiAd

News hits hard with the passing of Loretta Lynn. Her evocative music. Her fierce spirit. A storyteller who used song to channel an America that is quickly vanishing. She was a coal miner's daughter who sparkled like a diamond — brilliant, unbreakable, and resplendent.

The honor was mine @MichaelEMann. Your book "The New Climate War: The Fight to Take Back Our Planet" is an important and highly recommended read. https://t.co/KmFy3jJGQ8

I'm pleased but not surprised that my friend @Dahlialithwick's new book LADY JUSTICE is ringing up sales and earning great reviews. She's one of the best at seeing our fraught age from the perspective of justice and the law. This book couldn't be more timely. I highly recommend. https://t.co/NOHR0opCc3
