Getting in the habit of reading again has changed my life for the better

A short history of nearly everything is great too.

Autobiographies are my one of my favorite genres so reading nonfiction isn’t really a problem but that first one sounds really interesting!

I've tried so hard to read non foction and get incredibly bored very fast. So, I'm going to give the Teddy Roosevelt book a shot. I even love True Crime, but the books are no where near as fun as a podcast. So, thanks for the recommendations!

Thank you! I'd also recommend Born a Crime by Trevor Noah for those who want to get into memoirs, and Catch and Kill: Lies, Spies, and a Conspiracy to Protect Predators by Ronan Farrow for those interested in the behind the scenes of a great journalist while writing a historic investigation piece.

Incredible recommendations!! Letters from a Stoic! Hell yes.

Glad to see the Seneca recommendation.

Great suggestions! I usually only read fiction and the only non-fiction author I keep up with is Jim Kwik. Thanks for helping me expanding my library!

I love you reviews man! Do u have a video of ur favorite adventure books of all time? So many to chose from! I need some insight!

I've been reading novels lately, but I'm gonna do some reading of non-fiction books for a change.

As a big nonfiction reader, these are all good picks, but I think a nod to some of the essential literary journalism works would be a great starter in the nonfiction world as well. It offers a bit more variety to the picks that would offer a different genre and voice in addition to the more historical or philosophical picks. Didion, Woolf, or Talese are all essential reads for any nonfiction lover.

Other non-fiction genres people would love include biography, autobiography and memoirs. Real life stories are so much better than fiction! Sandra Day OConnor’s memoir “Lazy B” was so good! Rick Bragg’s “All Over But The Shoutin’” was also mesmerizing. So many others!

That particular edition of Seneca omits most of his best pro-suicide letters.

Thank you!

I’d get the entire Letters from a Stoic, not the Penguin edition which is a selection.

For the non believers World's religions - smith Letters to a Christian nation - harris Godless - barker God is not great - hitchins God delusion - dawkins Science Elegant universe - greene

Have you read The Master and His Emissary by Dr Iain MacGilchrist?

Antony beevor- fall of Berlin 1945 Marcus Aurelius- meditation Christopher R browning- ordinary men Fredrick downs- the killing zone

I read that book deadly alliance by that one reporter. Had some slow parts to get through. The part about Rick Ross was good. And Hugo Spadafora. That was pretty grim.

River of Doubt is fantastic.

Please please review hard-boiled crime fiction like Richard Stark.

My problem is i am hooked on nonfiction books. I need suggested fiction starters.

Ive always found nonfiction to be so incredibly boring. Something about the actual earth and history is just so dry to me. But ill keep these books on my radar just because they sound good and seem well liked

If someone wants to read non fiction u should go for olive green by ap singh

First read Bhagavad Gita & Upnishad.❤️

A Walk In The Woods by Bill Bryson

What's a nonfixin

The two non-fiction books that i've read cover to cover multiple times and I think most people would enjoy would make fine additions to this list IMHO. The World Without Us - the ecology and philosophy in this book is brilliant. It taught me so much about our past and about our most permanent impacts on Mother Earth and on The Universe. Like how if we all disappeared tomorrow, virtually every nuclear reactor on Earth would eventually go supercritical and meltdown. Second one is The Devil in the White City, which reads much like a novel IIRC (it's been a decade or so since i last read it). It tells the story of H.H. Holmes amid the insane cultural milestone that was the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago. Lots of firsts happened there while thousands of young people arrived off the plains looking to find fame and fortune in the Big City. The city was exploding, and Holmes took advantage of this by offering decent housing in a seemingly safe setting. He was a real Hannibal Lector, Ted Bundy type, with endless wit and a disarming charm that was especially affective with naive farm girls fresh off the prairie. No one knows how many women and girls he killed. There's no way to know how many disappeared in that time in that place - and certainly some would've found some other misfortune. And still more would've actually made it, finding love or at least a non-murderous husband, or some other fate. He murdered in his infamous hotel boarding house that he built for pennies. He would hire work crews promising grand wages, and then firing them (often without any payment) after finding some issues to complain about. I've not done either book justice. It's been a while since i've read either book.

Ngl best fiction book is all trmmw

😍🥰😍🥰🥰💞🥰💞

Brother need to worry about his hair. Before end up become Schopenhauer or John stuart mill

Why didn’t you mention like a science book; those are the only good ones really.

Ah Roosevelt's Amazon trip. Why people think Piranha will eat you,

‘Easy’ to read?

Good fiction

you don't need those - any college level literature course will have books w/ a myriad of good short non fiction stories ~

There are also more diverse authors out there for anyone looking 😊

The King James Bible is a great read for non-fiction lovers like myself Come unto the True and Living God, Jesus Christ of Nazareth "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved"❤

So this seems to be non-fiction light . I often read much more technical stuff that's at college level .

Unless it was for school or job, I never read any non-fiction book.

The finance recommendation is criminally wrong. There is a goto first read in that subject. You didn’t cite it. It goes to show your inadequacy.

3 books on 4 you reccomended are american... Like that only american Autor write Non Fiction
