Jason's Reading (books by David Grann)
The Wager by David Grann
Oct 2023 · ๐Another interesting tale. These true adventure stories always leave me marvelling at how much humans can really survive. The lack of available sources about the journey was apparent, but I thought that Grann told the story well anyway.
The Lost City of Z by David Grann
Oct 2023 · ๐A fascinating story, skillfully told. I forgot how much I love this genre, whatever it’s called. (Narrative nonfiction adventure, maybe?) Grann bounces between Fawcett’s incredible adventures and the story of his own research quest in an enjoyable way, and he crafts a surprisingly satisfying ending considering that Fawcett’s fate remains a mystery to this day. I’ll definitely be reading more of Grann’s books soon.
