I recently finished 1929 by Andrew Ross Sorkin. A great, relatively short book (compared to what I usually read). It tells the story of the run up to and aftermath of the 29 crash. Told as a narrative focused on a dozen or so key characters. Doesn’t cover the whole depression, just the crash and subsequent prosecutions and hearings, etc culminating in Glass-Steagle. Great read.

I only just yesterday finished Chernow’s Mark Twain. While I liked the book and was never really tempted to put it down, it was definitely an endurance test. 1200 pages. I listened and the narration was 44 hours. I think they would do well to create an abridged version.
Still a fascinating man and a fascinating life.
