A sign of really good historical fiction.
Yep, still thinking about The Green Glass Sea. Last night I helped a patron find some books on the military aircraft of WWII, and I noticed a book on the shelf below. In the past, I never, ever (EVER) would have considered taking home a 928-page book on the making of the atomic bomb, but now, after reading the Klages book, everything has changed.
I do think I'll start much smaller, though -- with this one, maybe.
