Pamela Paul Book Recommendations & Book Mentions

Pamela Paul

It’s been nearly 90 years since its publication, but reading it now is like staring into the worst of next week. It’s all there: The ways in which a country can lose its grip on the truth. The ways in which tribalism is easily roused to demonize others.

I don’t think I’ll ever get over reading this book or wanting to insist that everyone else read it.

Pamela Paul

This book is great and terrifying, and if anything gets me to stop eating fish, it will be this book. The conditions for many workers around the world are appalling and the damage to the planet, devastating.

This book by Mikhail @zygaro came out in 2016 but remains an extremely relevant backgrounder to everything happening in Russia and Ukraine today. You watch as all the horror unfolds over the course of two decades. And it is exceptionally readable.

Brilliant, humane and and most of all, funny, this book is about human nature and animal nature. It’s about what parents say and what children hear and about the ways we just can’t help being.

I judged this book by the cover and was wrong, wrong, wrong. It’s almost as if the intention was to deter those readers most inclined to enjoy it. Based on this one book, Mischa Berlinski deserves to be a literary star. Now I want to read “Fieldwork.” And “Peacekeeping” for that matter.

I know I’m late to this book, but it got me at the right moment, and its 700 pages flew by like an escapist extended fable...it’s just a whole absorbing epic, heavy on tragic events, and with cliffhangers aplenty.

What is there left to say about @keithmcnallynyc’s remarkable book that hasn’t already been said? I can see why it’s sold so well and why everyone I know has been reading it. It is honest, unsparing and self-aware in a way far too few memoirs are... Bravo, @keithmcnallynyc!

Not surprisingly, Emmanuel Carrere has written another profound, unforgettable, devastating and humane book. One you will not regret reading.
