bailedI am unsure if it is me, if the book is outdated or what but I am at chapter 5 and I have spent most of the book wondering why we are talking about whatever he is writing about. Then for no apparent reason Egan drops the "R" word and I am over it. It is supposed to be about the dust bowl but I am 1/4 in and he has spent more time talking about people coming to America on boats from Germany and Russia then was ever needed.

📕I've only read one off the list.
I'll have a tough time choosing which to read. 🤔
This Litsy event is among my favorites - glad I made the cut this year!
Now that I live in NC, the winter weather provides a great reason to stay indoors & read. ❄
In particular, I like beginning & ending each day with a book - if only a few pages.
☕My reading is usually accompanied by a cup of tea.
so-soThe historical aspects of the story were interesting, but the writing wasn‘t for me. Too many repetitive descriptors and unbelievable dialogue. It was so much like Water for Elephants but without the compelling characters. Books like this that are loosely based on a real historical event, but add in dramatic back stories for the fictional characters tend to lose my interest. I‘d usually rather read a nonfiction account of whatever happened.
