I read "The Wright Brothers" all in one sitting. Fantastic book.

My favorite book of all time. Or my first favorite book. I'm not sure what to call it.

My favorite of 2016: Christadora by Tim Murphy.

My choice is a non-fiction pick: David Oshinsky's book Bellevue: Three Centuries of Medicine and Mayhem at America's Most Storied Hospital You wouldn't think it could be a page-turner, but it was.

A review: For 200 Years, Bellevue Hospital Treated Presidents And Paupers : Shots - Health News : NPR

Now, I'm going back and reading his 2006 book, Polio: An American Story, which won the Pulitzer Prize in History.

I read a lot of so-so and outright bad novels in 2016, so I'm going non-fiction for a while
