Books I have read in 2010 By MeganLea 

So sorry to reply so late, I honestly forgot about my list! I have read many more books since these ones were posted and have to get them up. In answer to your question, it all depends on the type of book you're in the mood for. The Hurricane Katrina one is a series of newspaper articles written by a journalist for a newspaper in New Orleans. It can be a bit repeatitive because its weekly articles, but really captures the mood of the city in the aftermath of the disaster.

The 9/11 in Gander is a great look at how complete strangers were a comfort to one another and coped with the confusion of what was going on in the days after such a horrific tragedy. It's a great story of how a very small community was host to a very diverse group of travellers, some who lost family members, others just stranded in small town Newfoundland. It tells the story of a lot of the people at once, but not too complicated that you need to look back as the author tells the story day by day.

Hope this helps, and is not too late!
