Reagan: His Life and Legend by Max Boot
A fairly straightforward single volume biography. Covers everything but not a day-by-day. Especially good with Reagan’s early life. Recommended 4/5
Pillars of Creation: How the James Webb Telescope Unlocked the Secrets of the Cosmos by Richard Panek
Good but a bit shorter than I would have liked. It could have really used another 100 pages on the development of the Telescope and a few stories about researchers. 3/5
My Scoring System
- 5/5 = Brilliant, top 5 book of the year
- 4/5 = Above average, strongly recommend
- 3/5 = Average. in the middle 70% of books I read
- 2/5 = Disappointing
- 1/5 = Did not like at all
