Non-Fiction July:: PBR meets PBS


Apparently the days of two-month PBR Book Club sprees of summer "big books" are a thing of the past. Have we become even lazier than you'd expect from a group of PBR-swilling readers?

But you can still read big books and talk about them:  I (Nog) just finished Mathew Thomas' powerhouse We Are Not Ourselves (600 pp) and B-Suit is raving about Hanya Yanagihara's A Little Life (700 pp).  We'll talk to you about them.

But the official topic of July's meeting is Steven Johnson's 2014 How We Got to Now.  So far I've only read the intro, which is good and has a funny shout-out to the short-lived beauty of Betamax.  

If you're feeling extra lazy, just watch the PBS series based on the book.
