Slate just set about creating a canon of major nonfiction books, by naming The 50 Best Nonfiction Books of the Last 25 Years. Staggered to see Columbine there, with a lovely write-up.*
It's currently their cover story, and an awesome list. I have read quite a few, and loved nearly all of those, including Lost City of Z, A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again, We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed With Our Families,** and . . . I better stop listing, or this post will be huge.
Most of the others have been on my should-read or maybe-read list, and just got a huge bump.
(I went right out and ordered Age Of Wonder--not sure what took me so long.)
It's amazing company, and I'm kind of awed to be among them. (I've also met quite a few of these writers the past several years, and been really impressed. It's hard to write a madly interesting book without being at least somewhat interesting. haha.)
I believe this is the first century-level list Columbine has made. I'm kind of giddy. Thanks Slate.
(Update: After posting, I went back and looked for any century-related nonfiction list, and discovered Book Riot did one last year: 50 best from the last 100 years. I was shocked to see Columbine made it as well. How did I miss that? Oh. It went up while I was madly rewriting Parkland last fall.)
* I'm not sure where they got the factoid that I was "on the scene himself within 15 hours of the crime." It was about one hour.
** That last one is also one of my all-time favorite titles.
The CSUF Portal is the central online platform for California State University, Fullerton students, faculty, and staff. It serves as a single access point for academic and campus services, allowing users to manage their university activities easily. From the portal, students can view class schedules, register for courses, check grades, and track financial aid details.
Massar Service is an online education system used in Morocco to manage and monitor students’ academic information. It allows students, parents, and teachers to access important school data such as grades, attendance records, exam results, and academic progress. The Massar Service helps improve communication between schools and families by providing accurate and updated information through a secure digital portal.
The Chamberlain University student portal is an online platform that allows students to manage their academic activities in one place. After logging in, students can view their class schedules, grades, assignments, announcements, and important university updates through a personalized dashboard.
It's amazing how deeply personal narratives like Columbine can shape our understanding of larger issues. Resources like the chamberlain university student portal really help students explore these kinds of complex topics in depth. Being able to connect readings to discussions and assignments makes the learning experience much more meaningful.
Great explanation, really enjoyed reading this.
Thanks for sharing such clear information.
