The Greatest Non-Fiction Novels According to Ranker - Page 2

"This list is about the best non-fiction novels; it answers the question, 'What are the best non-fiction books?' While everyone loves a good fiction novel from time to time, non-fiction stories can grip the soul in a way that nothing else can. Tales about war, lost love, tragedy, death, loss, heroism, goodness – each facet of a non-fiction book tugs at our heartstrings and reminds us that we are united together as human beings. We begin to remember that we each feel - we each know struggles and pain and all of us know what it's like to love. Some of the best-written novels of our time are the ones that are forever implanted in our beings. It is stories like this that make us who we truly are, and never allow us to forget." - ranker.com
