Twenty-Five Books That Shaped America: How White Whales, Green Lights, and Restless Spirits Forged Our National Identity by Thomas C. Foster

4.0

I have been reading this in dribs and drabs over the past few years, pulling out chapters on books that intrigued me, but I finally sat down to read it cover to cover this summer. The chapters on books I knew I found fascinating; other titles that I wasn’t as familiar with were sometimes hard to get into. Still, as with Foster’s How to Read Literature Like a Professor, the style is so delightfully conversational, that it made it all enjoyable.
