"Paperboy : Confessions of a Future Engineer" by Henry Petroski
A loving, interesting look at the growing up years of Henry in Cambria Heights (Queens borough) of NYC, during the early 1950's. Henry's family moves from Brooklyn to Cambria Heights and the life of the eldest son evolves from a child supported by his parents to a young man who learns the intricacies of becoming an independent business person.
Many interesting vignettes regarding the days when the Yankees and Brooklyn Dodgers vied for the World Series penants.
Hope you will try this one. I really did enjoy the stories he shared.
