An Image of My Name Enters America👍 Recommends
…book recommendations from reporters covering the trump administration
“Michael Scherer: An Image of My Name Enters America, which is a book of essays, sort of personal essays by Lucy Ives. I read it last year and I had so much fun. It was the most fun I've had reading a book in a long time. There are essays about pregnancy, about unicorns and being a young girl, about love, about sort of growing up.”

Blood👍 Recommends
…book recommendations from reporters covering the trump administration
“Michael Scherer: And then the last book is a book I read a long time ago, but I always recommend it to people because I think it's like the best example of literary nonfiction I've ever read. It's a book called Blood by Douglas Starr. It's actually A History of Blood, which is not something I would ever have thought I wanted to read. But it starts with a blood transfusion in 17th century France between a madman and a calf. And then it takes you through, you know, how blood revolutionized how we fight wars and the AIDS crisis.”

Palimpsest👍 Recommends
…book recommendations from reporters covering the trump administration
“Michael Scherer: Palimpsest by Gore Vidal. Came out a while ago. I just read it recently. I can't believe I've been in D.C. so long and not read it. It's hilarious. It's totally R-rated and often inappropriate and often very vicious and about as good a memoir of D.C. as I've read.”
