I am reading Dongri to Dubai by S. Hussain Zaidi.

Growing up in Mumbai in the 1980s/90s, I remember reading news stories about the Mumbai gang wars.

This book covers that in great detail and as such qualifies as a genuine history book.

And yet, it reads like a potboiler. It is essentially unputdownable.

10/10

Killers of the Flower Moon by David Grann.

I’m reading the Wager right now. It’s a page-turner. Killers of the Flower Moon is up next.

What’s Wager about? Who is the author

[–] BarbarianDwight@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

It’s about a shipwreck. Author is David Grann, same as Killers of the Flower Moon. Both are great reads.
