I just saw Time's list of non-fiction good reading in the Nov. 2, 1959, issue. The only one I have read is:

1413 The Armada, by Garret Mattingly (read 17 Oct 1976)

My comment thereon:

This is a well done book, albeit footnoteless, and its English bias is muted. In fact Mattingly is quite favorable to Medina Sidonia, the Spanish commander. Mattingly lays the ground carefully, and the book is half over before the Armada sails. Nevertheless, on the whole I read the book without much interest. I knew the outcome. The book begins with Mary Stuart's execution at Fotheringhay on Feb 18, 1587, and ends Jan 1, 1589.

Lois, I am glad that Let the Great World Spin won, since I was intending to read it becaues of its neat title resonating Tennyson and I always read the National Book Award fiction winner--I've read 49 of such, and since the awards began in 1951 you can see that there are only about 10 or so I've not read--so that reduces my TBR list by one... ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/235584-dead-authors Schmerguls made a comment in the Readers and Reading group:

In connection with the Ludovic Kennedy book I read usually I tell what I thought of the book, but in my post neglected to do that so I will do that now:

1964 The Airman and the Carpenter: The Lindbergh Kidnapping and the Framing of Richard Hauptmann, by Ludovic Kennedy (read 5 Dec 1985) On July 9, 1962, I read Kidnap and was convinced Hauptmann was guilty. On Dec 4, 1976, I read Scapegoat and came to believe he was not guilty. I have now read this book and am thoroughly convinced Hauptmann was not only innocent but framed. In fact the book was depressing and saddening. When I read Kidnap I thought the attic board was proof positive. Now it seems ridiculous to think anyone could believe Hauptmann would take a board from his attic floor to build a ladder, when he could use wood much more easily from some other source. This book is well-written, although it is confessedly written to prove Hauptmann was framed. A better book would have been more objective, and have proved the same thing. The book is by an English writer who has written other crime books I'd like to read: 10 Rillington Place; A Presumption of Innocence; and Wicked Beyond Belief. [But I never have, yet.:]
