I am sadly, not much of a nonfiction reader. I say “sadly,” because I’m a bit envious of people like my husband who can self-educate at a shocking rate, simply by reading books on a wide variety of topics. However, there is one nonfiction book in particular that ranks in my all-time favorite books. As the youth say these days, it “lives rent free in my head.” And not, I think, without merit: I really and truly believe that it should be a part of everyone’s homeschool curriculum. That book is The Boys in the Boat by Daniel James Brown.
