Reading and re-reading

The Other Wes Moore: One Name, Two Fates ~ by Wes Moore, 2010, memoir (Maryland), 250 pages, 9.5/10

Two kids named Wes Moore were born blocks apart within a year of each other.  Both grew up fatherless in similar Baltimore neighborhoods and had difficult childhoods; both hung out on street corners with their crews; both ran into trouble with the police.  How, then, did one grow up to be a Rhodes Scholar, decorated veteran, White House Fellow, and business leader, while the other ended up a convicted murderer serving a life sentence?  Wes Moore, the author of this fascinating book, sets out to answer this profound question.  In alternating narratives that take readers from heart-wrenching losses to moments of surprising redemption, this book tells the story of a generation of boys trying to find their way in a hostile world.

I read The Other Wes Moore back in January of 2015.  Reading my post from that time, I see that I rated it 9.5/10.  I just was given a copy that I will probably donate to the Crown Center library where I live, but I want to read it again while I have it in hand.  So this is one of the book that I am reading now.

I'm also still reading these two, both library books:

Turn Right at Machu Picchu: Rediscovering the Lost City One Step at a Time ~ by Mark Adams, 2011, history (Peru), 333 pages (on this blog HERE)

Simple Remedies for Seniors: The Guidebook to Natural Healing Secrets to Prevent and Reverse Disease ~ by The Editors of FC&A Medical Publishing, 2008, guidebook, 384 pages (on this blog HERE)
