Rocket Boys
by Homer Hickam
A memoir about a high school boy's rocket building club does not sound like the most relatable or interesting book but I immensely enjoyed Rocket Boys. It is so much more that an engineer looking back on what led him to his current career, it is a time piece exploring the rise and fall of mining towns in West Virginia during the 1950s. This personal depiction of the time period matched with a family who all have very different views of the world they live in and beyond makes for a real page turner.
