Short Nonfiction Books You Can Read in a Day or Two - Page 2

Nonfiction does not have to be long to be important. In fact, many of the titles I've listed below are the absolute best nonfiction books I've ever read. All of the books (except one) are under 300 pages, and the books closer to the 300 page mark are so absorbing and fast-paced they can be read in a single sitting. I've also included graphic memoirs and other graphic nonfiction that can be read quickly. Nonfiction can be just as fun as fiction as long as you find a subject that interests you, and don't feel bogged down by an endless number of pages.
