Ms. Arkans had a terrific conversation with Ms. Cathy Law - NPHS Science Teacher and avid reader. 

Ms. Law recommended The Splendid And The Vile by Erik Larson.

She also mentioned some other books that she thinks you should read:
The Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry
The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt
All The Light You Cannot See by Anthony Doerr
A Prayer For Owen Meany by John Irving
The Boys In The Boat by Daniel James Brown

And when the podcast was over she wanted me to mention that she loved How To Tame A Fox (And Build A Dog) by Lee Dugatkin.
