Happy Tuesday everyone! Welcome to the Top Ten Tuesday hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week's topic is a Genre Freebie and I've decided to focus on a genre I don't talk about all that often: nonfiction. Without further ado, read on to see some of the Nonfiction Books On My TBR:
And the Band Played On: Politics, People, and the AIDS Epidemic by Randy Shilts
Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee: An Indian of the American West by Dee Brown
Cod: A Biography of the Fish That Changed the World by Mark Kurlansky
In the Garden of Beasts: Love, Terror, and an American Family in Hitler's Berlin by Erik Larson
In the Heart of the Sea: The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex by Nathaniel Philbrick
Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil by John Berendt
Have you read any of these books? What nonfiction books are you looking forward to reading? As always, thanks for visiting my blog and perhaps even commenting down below!
Nonfiction is 70% of my reading, so I've read a few few of these. I can't say enough good things about Kurlansky, Diamond, and Larson. The Wounded Knee book is one on my list. I'm currently working through a stack of doom that's mostly nf!
ReplyDeleteI know that feeling - stack of doom!
DeleteI highly recommend the Larson -- to be honest ANYthing by Larson is good. The Professor and the Madman was excellent, too, but I disliked Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. Cod is in my TBR, also. :)
ReplyDeleteEverything I've read from him so far I've really liked. Thanks for letting me know.
DeleteI've not read any of these, I do read a little non-fiction, but it still makes up a fairly small portion of what I read. I've heard of The Wounded Knee book though, I think that was one that came up when I did a Native American History module for my degree.

I'm surprised I haven't already read that one myself.
DeleteBury My Heart at Wounded Knee is on my TBR list! My TTT
ReplyDeleteI hope we'll both get to it soon.
DeleteThis is random, but I live in Washington state and there was a segment on the local news recently with the daughter (Or granddaughter, I can't remember.) of one of the men from the real The Boys on the Boat. I guess he was from Sequim, WA. The highschoolers were lobbying to get a premier for the movie at the high school he attended there. I hope you like the book.
ReplyDeleteHuh! That's pretty cool - thanks for coming over, Deanna.
DeleteI like the look of Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, I used to live close to it, and have always been interested in the story
ReplyDeleteHuh. Thanks for coming over, Wendy!
DeleteI read so little nonfiction now but I read a lot more of it before I began blogging. Some of these I've seen- Bury My Heart particularly.
ReplyDeleteI definitely need to pick up more. :)
DeleteI remember watching the movie And the Band Played On. It was very emotional.
ReplyDeleteThere's a movie? Knowing what it's about I bet it would be.
