Reporter | Seymour M. Hersh
Mehso-so

Seymour Hersh is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist known for his work uncovering the My Lai massacre, the Watergate scandal and the Abu Ghraib war crimes. This memoir focuses on his career and how he broke his biggest stories but offers nothing personal, no analysis of changes in the profession or the ways anonymous sources can be used and misused. I think the book suffers for that, leaving it an okay factual read rather than an insightful one.

Well, it‘s that time of year again: “best books” season. I love the lists but also get stressed out with my reading life 😆
I always look forward to the NYT end of the year list.
I happened to already be in the middle of two of their choices:
-Master Slave Husband Wife
-North Woods
And I read chain gang which I didn‘t love. I plan to try a few others including The Best Minds and Fire Weather (which I was already on hold for)

Megabooks North Woods was really good! 4mo
ChaoticMissAdventures Sorry you didn't love Chain-Gang! It is one of my top 5 books of the year so I am so excited to see it here! I know this feeling though, every time these lists come out I get excited for the books I love but also so many I didn't read! 4mo
AmyG I am hoping to get to North Woods and The Bee Sting. I love to see the NYT lists, too. I also wasn‘t a fan of Chain Gang. 😬 (edited) 4mo

Chelsea.Poole @ChaoticMissAdventures I know it‘s gotten so much love! I really tried but it just didn‘t do it for me. 4mo
Chelsea.Poole @AmyG I think we‘ll both really like both books 😊 book 👯 —-glad I‘m not the only one who didn‘t love Chain Gang 4mo
Suet624 I still don‘t understand the popularity of The Bee Sting. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 4mo
Chelsea.Poole @Suet624 it‘s on alllll the lists! 4mo
TheKidUpstairs I put holds on Eastbound and Bottoms Up and the Devil Laughs once I read this list, I'd never heard of either before but they intrigued me so much. North Woods is already on my TBR, not sure if I'll get to it this year or not... 4mo
Suet624 I know! That book just pissed me off. 😂😂 I was so annoyed that I spent so much time on it. 4mo

Pondering dinner……with temps in the mid 30s F 😩, something comforting & warm is in order. I was thinking MS Roast (❤️pepperoncini), but then I spied Mapo Ragu! I will bookmark both.

Kappadeemom I love Mississippi roast - make it all the time in my crockpot! 5mo
Tamra @Kappadeemom it‘s been a long time for us! 5mo
mabell Oooo the Mapo Ragu sounds good! 5mo

At 19 hours, this is a bit #NerdAlert 🤓, but if you‘re interested in newsroom politics and the whys of major news coverage, this is great! Covering 1976-2016, Nagourney looks at the relationship between the executive editor and publishing (Abramson‘s firing, etc.) as well as behind the scenes accounts of major highs and lows (Jayson Blair, 9/11 Pulitzer, their role in erroneous Iraqi WMD accounts, etc.).

SamAnne This sounds like an interesting read. 6mo
Megabooks @SamAnne it was! I finished it in 2.5 days, which means I was putting it in my ears every chance. 👍🏻😁 6mo

A riveting exploration of the Jayson Blair scandal that rocked the New York Times. The Blair scandal doesn't come up until page 101, so a bit of patience is required by the reader. However, it's important that Mnookin sets the scene for the destructive culture that allowed Blair to come on board in the first place, which he does masterfully. Just as important, this book is also about how the NYT admirably recovered from the scandal.

Tutta Pasta was my favorite restaurant! The owners retired, and it closed several years ago. It was the last thing I expected to come across in this book. Now I'm sad, both because I miss it, and because I've now learned that Jayson Blair used to eat there.
