Non-Fiction, What's That?

I don't read much non-fiction, as you can tell by this short list. I know I've read more - certainly of folklore/folklore analysis, anthropology (my college major), and philosophy (my college minor), plus lots of random stuff from high school and research papers. I purposely excluded actual classic folklore like fairy tale collections (i.e. Grimm or Afanasev or Irish, etc) or mythology (for example, I just read Gilgamesh). Also excluded any children's non-fiction.
