Read more non-fiction

shameless plug here…

I run a non-ficiton book review websiate at www.lettersonpages.com. There are a lot of reviews there (and constantly adding more!) for people to look at and see if any are interesting.

You can subscribe to the RSS or e-mail feed to get my reviews as I post them

Thanks!

steadfastly working my way through All Our Relations.
need to get working on some biology textbooks.

But I’ve started reading nonfiction about things I like and am interested in.

Sustainable farming and living.
Adults with mental illnesses
Women’s issues and beauty

I’m sure there’s more that I’ll become interested in, but for now, that’s my current reading list.

I haven’t read any non-fiction book lately (and wasn’t able to finish reading The God Delusion either) but I’ve been reading the Economist from cover to cover every week and once in a while I read articles from the financial times during the week (I don’t even need to buy the FT, it’s available at my gym). So I’m reading loads of interesting non-fiction every week, done!

and its ok. I like some of the ideas presented in it and am sure that this is a book that i’ll get something out of and will be able to apply to real life. Unfortunately im reading this just after i finished my exams but it still looks like ill benifit from it.

After this book, which is relatively short, i have The Ancestors Tale by Richard Dawkins ready to go. The type of words used are very scientific at times but i think that its still reader friendly for the average person, and evolution interets me anyway so i should be fine :)

I’m reading The God Delusion by R. Dawkins and I’ve been reading at least 3 articles from The Economist a week… so far so good.

I’ve tried some other non-fiction books but so far none was that interesting. So I’ll start reading at least three articles from The Economist a week, instead of the usually one or none.

ok, so I finished reading “under the banner of heaven” by John Krakauer, that’s one book already :)

Currently I’m reading something by i think it is David Suzuki, its not really my thing but I’m reading and its non-fiction so why not i suppose its good to get other peoples viewpoints on things.

My idea is once I’ve read five non-fictions without there being more than a month and a half in between ill consider this done. :)

I’ve been haunting my local library’s non-fiction section and have stumbled across some great reads. I’ve learned something about myself: I really, really enjoy off-the-wall research style novels written by witty or informative folk heading out into the countryside to experience things first hand. These journeys through the sociology of the American Landscape are just the thing for my addled mind. In the past few months I have read several books that I would recommend, including Steve Almond’s ‘Candy Freak’, Barbara Ehrenreich’s ‘Bait & Switch’ and Pete Jordan’s ‘Dishwasher’.
