Many planned to read it still, but later. To them, it sounded like the worst, most heartbreaking experience they could imagine. In fact, I know this to be true as I brought up my experience with both patrons and librarians and more than a few cringed when I described what I found to be an awesome reading experience. However, I understand that for many, reading the book back in May would have been too intense. It was extremely eerie, but at the same time it also felt like a fitting tribute to those who died. My experience was more visceral and intense than if I had read it now or sometime in the future. įor me as a reader, I read this book at the perfect time. During the 100th Anniversary this past April and May from the day the Lusitania left harbor until it sunk, Erik Larson himself live tweeted the crossing here. I know this may sound a bit macabre to some, but I purposely timed my listening of this book to the 100th Anniversary of the sinking of the ship, even holding off on getting to the day the ship sank in the story until I was on that day in real life. Back in May, I listened to Dead Wake: The Last Crossing of the Lusitania by Erik Larson.
