Ok BlueSky: what are your favorite history books in terms of sheer page-turning, narrative propulsion? Thinking along the line of Killers of the Flower Moon, etc. Nonfiction chronicles that read like novels or movies.

This was the last Diane Keaton movie I saw. It will never leave me. "Shocking" sounds so glib for what LOOKING FOR MR. GOODBAR accomplishes. Truly unforgettable cinema.
