Do you read non-fiction?

[lovethetriangle]

If so, what have you read over the past few years?

[CavaliersFTW]

Nope. Strictly read ISH.

[Jailblazers7]

Language in Thought and Action
A People's History of the US
Guns, Germs, and Steel
Thinking, Fast and Slow

Ones I can remember off the top of my head. All very good and would recommend.

[plowking]

Yes. I read the flat earth thread.

Bill bryson has some great non fiction. His history of everything is a book that should be on all school reading lists.wish I'd read it asa kid

[fiddy]

I dont do fiction at all.

[Dresta]

Too much to recite, but the best non-fiction book i've read overall, is probably Tocqueville's Democracy in America, as it manages to combine stylistic brilliance with remarkable prescience and profundity; the worst was Empire by Hardt & Negri (a nauseating tome of hybridsized Marxist/Postmodernist trash), or anything written by the remarkably boring and mediocre John Dewey (apparently a 'great' American intellectual, or so i hear - he even got a chapter in Bertie Russell's History of Western Philosophy smh).

[Thorpesaurous]

I've read a ton of true crime. And a fair amount of history. I'm sure I've read more non-fiction than fiction.
