I don't read many books about 9/11. Having witnessed it in my own way (I may include that account here tomorrow), I know that we all, and especially those of us New Yorkers or those of us with family and friends still there, have a story to tell and I don't often want to read others. These books are different.
9/11 Book Recs for this weekend:
Wake Up Call: The Political Education of a 9/11 Widow by Kristen Breitweiser. This is her love story, her tragedy and the politics of becoming an activist.
The Day the World Came to Town by Jim DeFede. This is the best, most uplifting book you will ever read about the days of 9/11. When all the planes were forced to land, they had to land somewhere.
The Good Life by Jay McInerney (I haven't read this one. I saw the author on Morning Joe and it seemed like an interesting read. I've put it on my list.)
