Here's a dandy shelf. Non-fiction books detailing what life and customs were like during different eras of American history, which always makes for enjoyable reading. I mentioned
Home Life in Colonials Days in
this 2012 post.
Huckleberry Hill was also discussed
in 2012. And then the books veer to essays and descriptions of modern times, with volumes by
Verlyn Klinkenborg,
Wendell Berry and
James Rebanks. The
Caitlin Doughty book should probably be paired with Jessica Mitford's
The American Way of Death,
from an earlier shelf. And
the Michael Pollan book is kind of an outlier here. It truly belongs elsewhere, thematically. Finally, there is indeed a book titled
Cattle of the World.
