20 of the Best Nonfiction Books of All Time for a Big Dose of Reality

If you're usually a fiction fan and have previously written off true stories as too dry – or too close to real life – for your tastes, we've got something to change your mind. Just like fiction, there's a nonfiction read to suit every taste, whether yours tends toward the poetic or you're a "just the facts, ma'am" kind of reader. We've gathered up a few of the best books of 2021, including both classic must-reads and stellar newcomers to the scene, to give you a solid introduction to the genre. And once you're done here, join our feel-good Book Club, where you'll find more heartwarming reads to love.
