Who all likes non fiction.?

[sadya]

I enjoy all kinds of non-fiction too. Sometimes I read fiction and non-fiction at the same time.

[Ealasaid]

I like to mix it up as well.

[memory]

I will dabble in non-fiction if there is a particular topic I'm really interested in learning more about. I enjoy reading historical non-fiction best.

[cap78]

I teach history, so yes...however, reading history these days has begun to feel like work...so I am taking a hiatus from the genre

[zeldas_lullaby]

I like:
The Connecticut Circus Fire by Stewart O'Nan
To Sleep With the Angels about a Catholic school fire in the '50's
Any similar disaster book
Fire in the Sky by Travis Walton
Any books that are filled with woodworking plans
Hi Fructose's three hardcover art books, compendiums from several magazine issues apiece
Coffee table books about home design

[Thesaurus Rex]

My whole life is nonfiction. Why would I want to read about it?

[kstockard]

I like well-written non-fiction. If it reads like a textbook, then no. Noel Warnell's Germ Warfare (of the Corporate Kind) is a good example of non-fiction I like to read.

I just happen to be reading what I think will prove to be one of the best nonfiction books of my life: Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln, by Doris Kearns Goodwin. This book was recommended to me by a good friend about 2 years ago but I am only just now getting around to it. It is an enormously interesting look at the men of Lincoln's cabinet and the times they lived in as well as their attitudes toward and association with Abraham Lincoln. I am about 200 pages into this 750 page tome but so far I have found that each page is rich in interesting facts and anecdotical material about both the individuals as well as the events they were a part of. I can already recommend this book as a "must read" to anyone interested in this period of American history though I have thus far only scratched the surface.

[Bernadette]

I love non-fiction books. essentially every book has a story to tell, there are just different ways to do so.

[Gravy]

I'm in such a mood for memoirs right now...
I'm almost finished with Mao's Last Dancer...it's such an emotional story.

And I just keep finding more I want to read.

[Jolyon Trevelyan]

I like all sorts of books and read all sorts of books fiction and no fiction.

I am going to add this book to my "to read" list. Lincoln is such a fascinating character for me. I love to read about him.

[the biblophile]

I read non fiction as much as fiction. I enjoy 18th and 19th century history, specifically medical and social history. Authors like Roy Porter, and Peter Ackroyd.

[Jane Doe]

I absolutely love non fiction! History is my favorite. I feel like non fiction is a little under credited, but maybe that's just me.

[the biblophile]

I think non fiction can enhance fiction, provide a historical context for a particular work. My love for Dickens led me to read everything I could on 19th century London. The historical context brought the novels alive for me in a new way. as close as a modern person can get to experience the stories the way a Victorian might.
