I just took out
Visit Sunny Chernobyl from the library last week and it's already it's the best thing I've read in a long time. The topic is interesting to me more from a historical/cultural perspective rather than an environmental one, but I think the author does a good job of balancing these two things. The writing can be a little clunky at times, but other times it seems similar to how Jonanthan S. Foer writes. If you want to read a little bit more about the book, I recommend reading this
