by Vassos Alexander
Don't Stop Me Now reads like a chatty run with a clubmate: Vassos Alexander strings self-deprecating anecdotes about first tries, races and ultramarathons into an upbeat narrative. The useful part is morale and the way ordinary missteps and odd moments make distance events feel attainable and oddly entertaining. The annoying part: recurring jokes and similar race set-pieces pile up, and there's almost no technical guidance for would-be trainees. Expect warmth and wit more than instruction.

Consider Accidental Presidents by Jared Cohen. Recommended by 10 sources.
“Accidental Presidents offers eight narrative portraits of men who succeeded to the U.S. presidency without election, using anecdote-rich scenes and readable context to show how personality and circumstance interact with office power. It’s strongest as a set of self-contained stories that make succession stakes concrete for non-specialist readers; it does not prioritize dense archival argument or exhaustive methodology, so expect some interpretive generalizations and repeated themes across cases. Use it for fast historical orientation rather than scholarly deep-dives.”
