At a bookstore on vacation, I very nearly bought the new kitten-squisher Twain biography by Ron Chernow. But, I know I’m a green reader, and I know that Chernow biography is more aspirational than practical, so I put it down, saving it for another time possibly, and picked up the new Matthew Pearl nonfiction, Save Our Souls, which is giving David Grann’s “The Wager” vibes and which I know I will devour. You are saving me money Mr. Reese!
