Best Non-Fiction Books: A User's Manual - Page 2

This list is a compilation of non-fiction books that I have published in other lists. I've included the links to them below. Generally, I read both a non-fiction book and a fiction book at the same time. If I'm lucky, I have enough time to divide it in half for a decent session with each book. I love non-fiction books because, while fiction is creative and escapist, non-fiction is so engaging because it's real and helps to expand knowledge and skills. As you'll see, my key passions are history, politics, people, philosophy and food. I hope this list encourages someone to read at least one of these books. Enjoy!
