Have had this arc for years and finally picked it up. Not bad, some parts that could have been edited down, and polished, but overall an easy read
I loved the history in the book. I don't like the sports analysis. It was hard to read about the 2013 tornados because I was here. It was a long day.
I really enjoy the history parts of the book and could do with less of the sports analysis and recollection. But the highlighted line made me feel 🤦♀️
I'm a longtime Dallas Cowboys fan. They are America's team, not Washington!
Delighted to receive my #Jolabokaflodswap today. Thank you @StellarDoc - I've been wanting to read this one for a while!

The landscape of memory was like that. Sometimes the near seemed far, far away and the faraway was right beneath your feet 🍿🎟🧠
I really loved the history of Oklahoma City. And I really enjoyed the modern parts, especially about the flaming lips and their front man. Even the sports parts were interesting, when they were about the politics of it and not play by plays of games.
I loved reading this book. Anderson‘s writing transforms an arguably unglamorous topic, Oklahoma City, into a gripping read. Note: I listened to it on audio, which the author himself narrates. His reading enhanced my experience because his wry humor is emphasized by the delivery tone.
