Erik Larson is one of my favorite authors. I have read all of his books. My favorites are Isaac's Storm and The Devil in the White City. I also really enjoyed his latest book, Dead Wake. It's the tragic story of the 1915 sinking of the Lusitania. I most enjoyed the parts about the passengers and the actual sinking. The parts about submarines and politics got a little boring for me though.

This is one of the most inspiring books I've ever read. It's the true story of a teenager from Africa who overcame unimaginable hardship and obstacles and taught himself how to generate electricity for his village. This was a very interesting, entertaining, and well told story. This book made me so grateful for all that I have, especially electricity and running water!

I read so many books this summer, I am having trouble remembering them all, but these two really stood out to me
