My 5 Best Reads of 2017… So Far

With one month left in the year, and 48 books completed, here is my list of the 5 best I read in 2017 so far. This could change in the next month or so, although it would require a really good book to knock any of these five off the list.

1. Assignment to Hell: The War Against Nazi Germany with Correspondents Walter Cronkite, Andy Rooney, A.J. Liebling, Homer Bigart, and Hal Boyle by Timothy M. Gay
2. Red: The Life & Times of a Great American Writer by Ira Berkow
3. Casey Stengel by Marty Appel
4. Leonardo Da Vinci by Walter Isaacson
5. Coming into the Country by John McPhee

Lots of good honorable mentions, but I’ll save those for closer to the end of December.
