United States, 1952-1992 : by Gore Vidal (1993, Hardcover)

A Tremendous Collection
Vidal's intellect and irascible wit shine brightest in his non-fiction. These essays cover topics from art to politics and even the oldest ones seem as relevant today as they surely did then.
From the Earth to the Moon (DVD, 2005, 5-Disc Set) Signature Edition

Eh.
There’s a reason that Band of Brothers is available in bunch of places (HBO, Amazon Prime, airs on cable most Memorial/Veterans Day) yet From the Earth to the Moon isn’t even on HBO anywhere. BoB is excellent storytelling. FTETTM is absolutely... *blah*. It lacks detail to early development and especially missions. Apollo 11 is on disc one for cryin’ out loud. Situations and characters are played jovially in a few places, as if the producers know that their space footage is lacking. I’m really disappointed. Do yourself a favor and watch Ryan Gosling in “First Man” instead. And find one of the many Apollo documentaries out there (most of them on Netflix) that suits you. Pass on this.

Top Notch Sandford
His tense, terse journalistic style is in top form with Invisible Prey. I am desperately hooked on Lucas Davenport novels.
