According to Mappit.net there are 45 books set in and around Los Alamos. That might not surprise you given the enormous amount of war history centered in the Secret City. But the list doesn’t include only biographical or historical accounts of things that actually happened. There are some really great historical fiction books by local authors and of course, a notable coming of age book that used to be considered too “adult” for readers under 15. And there are even quite a few books I’ve read that didn’t make the Mappit list. If you’ve read a good book about or set in Los Alamos, please feel free to add it to the comments or post it to my wall on Facebook. I’m always looking for recommendations! And for the time being, here are some interesting books you might want to check out!
“Curse the Names” by Robert Arellano
“The Atomic Weight of Love” by Elizabeth J Church
“The House at Otowi Bridge: The Story of Edith Warner and Los Alamos” by Peggy Pond Church
“The Wives of Los Alamos” by TaraShea Nesbit
So pick up one of these books and enjoy getting a different view of our wonderful city! And when you’re ready to buy and sell real estate here in Los Alamos, give me a call! I’d love to chat about Los Alamos with you.
