The Nineties: A Book
Chuck KlostermanJosh ElmanI finished @CKlosterman’s history of The Nineties. https://t.co/ULDP4D17ff Hard for me to accept it as “history” but it was fascinating to reflect on how transformative the decade was and how different the pre internet era when the 90s started is from now. Massive change.

Wanderers
Chuck WendigJosh ElmanSummer reading is usually light, but I thoroughly enjoyed Chuck Wendig’s Wanderers - 800 pages on a brutal pandemic and complete fracture of US politics. Written in 2019 before COVID - prescient too https://t.co/IdlqaJmjaj
