Favorite Non-Fiction

Just a personal list of 100 non fiction books that I've read that I liked. It's a very mixed list there's a bit of history, of science, a few memoirs, some books on true crime and writing, but all books in one way or another were able to make me understand a little bit more about the world and the people that live in it.
