I am reading Dongri to Dubai by S. Hussain Zaidi.
Growing up in Mumbai in the 1980s/90s, I remember reading news stories about the Mumbai gang wars.
This book covers that in great detail and as such qualifies as a genuine history book.
And yet, it reads like a potboiler. It is essentially unputdownable.
10/10
Under the Banner of Heaven by Jon Krakauer. It is about Mormonism. Trigger warning though, there’s some messed up stuff in that book. It’s definitely a heavy read.
