Todd's 110 Favorite Non-Fiction Books of the 21st Century - Page 2

Couldn't help going over. This century has definitely been a golden age of non-fiction. I'm particularly happy because it was non fiction (and my ex-wife's suggestion that I should give it a try) that got me out of the worst reading slump of my life and I've read almost 2,500 books since them (fiction and non, poetry, plays, etc.) I was just going to do 100 favs from the 21st century, but I hadn't realized just how many books I'd read from this century, so I'm going to try for a list of non-fiction, along with one of poetry and one of fiction. Happy reading. FWIW: These are in order of popularity according to List Challenges.
