Novels keep me awake better in airports than non-fiction does. But if there is a topic I'm really interested in, non-fiction is what I will turn to. I'm currently reading "The Richest Man Who Ever Lived" by Steven K. Scott. Generally speaking most of the non-fiction I read is either motivational or Christian oriented. And of course, our own book is non-fiction. :)Sharon - Grandma is a Writerhttp://grandmaisawriter.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35940445.post-37598768114791415112010-09-27T06:02:31.846-05:002010-09-27T06:02:31.846-05:00I read more non-fiction now, especially tho ones t...I read more non-fiction now, especially tho ones that help me stay positive.<br /><br /><a href="http://steamyfantasy.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow"> My Darcy Mutates…</a>Enid Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12248877161249788607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35940445.post-62413669338604889122010-09-26T21:03:19.413-05:002010-09-26T21:03:19.413-05:00Yes, Morgan, I love to read non-fiction. I love a...Yes, Morgan, I love to read non-fiction. I love anything by Desmond Morris, the anthropologist, because he helps me to understand human nature, which I find endlessly fascinating. I read "Survival of the Sickest", to learn about how many of the ills we face these days, came about through evolution trying to solve a problem, that then created the current ones! And I love stuff by Mental Floss, history as fun. I'm reading "Plato and a Platypus Walk Into a Bar" now! Good stuff!Fiona McGierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13495707848048468428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35940445.post-52328607663552644662010-09-26T14:03:58.724-05:002010-09-26T14:03:58.724-05:00Blogger ate my first comment!
Morgan,

My nonfiction reading consistes of writing texts/aids and special subject area reference books.<br /><br />MaggieMaggie Toussainthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12011893139722870283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35940445.post-50513035461139989782010-09-26T13:31:13.185-05:002010-09-26T13:31:13.185-05:00For many years all I read was non-fiction.

The Civil War was always interesting to me, plus I was adding to my Laura Ingalls Wilder library, so I didn't read fiction at all. <br /><br />I still read a fair amount of non-fiction, though fiction books are more on my list these days with me promoting so many authors.<br /><br />I enjoy reading motivational books and those on Christian living. I also enjoy politics, true crime, and my Civil War library is still growing.<br /><br />CherylCherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03470069911115912344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35940445.post-72597730311607565132010-09-26T13:02:48.566-05:002010-09-26T13:02:48.566-05:00MORGAN--the last non-fiction I read, or parts of a...MORGAN--the last non-fiction I read, or parts of anyway, was an 800 page book title GERMS, GUNS, AND STEEL:THE FATES OF SOCIETIES. Now I ask you--who could read a book like that? Actually, it was fascinating, when I figured out how to make a kind of outline to ferret out his main points. I really, really wanted to learn what made societies fail--and they all do eventually. Want to know why? Read the book. You might be surprised.
