Hello everyone!

We all enjoy reading non-fiction books and learning some fun and/or interesting facts along the way. So what fun or interesting facts did you learn from your reading this week? We would love to know! And please mention the book you learned it from!)

When I get a chance to read, I almost exclusively read non-fiction, and I write historical non-fiction on a regular basis (which requires a lot of research, ie reading). A smart friend of mine, after reading my stuff, once asked me why I never bring up any of the subjects I write about or any of the books I'm reading in everyday conversation. I didn't have a good answer.

I suppose I find that, no matter which of the two activities I'm doing, I have to enjoy it while I'm doing it because afterwards it's like it never existed. That said, I'm not saying I remember nothing of what I write or read, rather I can only recall the general idea, or bits and pieces. What I'd prefer is to be able to argue my point in a conversation, which requires remembering a lot more of what I come across.

Are some people just like this or am I just doing it wrong (a post I found while writing this)?

I see a lot about these families dramatized in media and historical fiction. Im interested in knowing more-their real impact and the facts. I have checked into various books, and there is a lot out there. So, i'm interested to know what others would suggest I start with.

I really wanted to read Pageboy by Elliot Page. I made it a whole 50% through.....and it was SO depressing, I just couldn't bear the rest.

Any (auto) biographies you really wanted to read, but just couldn't do it?

Hello everyone!

In order to get some more discussions going about different Non Fiction books we will have a weekly thread to talk about different sub-genres or topics.

Which books do you think are good beginner books for someone that wants to learn a bit more about the topic or wants to explore the subgenre? Which books are your personal favorites?

I don't know how to put it exactly, but about the idea of their being more things (of things of things, etc). So, for instance take the idea of the list of components of a horse, carriage, and a car. The complexity of making an abacus vs a supercomputer. More data being created every day, works of art (again with the complexity of telling a story, putting on a play, and making a movie), etc.

Anyone have an idea of a book about something like that?

I am wondering if anyone uses writing as a tool to aid their comprehension of the nonfiction they read. This is obviously something that is encouraged in schools but does anyone have any tips/techniques for use outside of a school setting where there is no-one to, eg, set an essay question. Obviously note-taking is one form of writing but i feel this has limited usefulness. Appreciate any thoughts on this.

I just finished reading “The Trading Game” by Gary Stevenson. Does anyone have recommendations for similar books?

I’m looking for nonfiction book clubs that focus on society and politics. I really enjoy books published by Verso, as an example. Does anyone have recommendations for active book clubs or communities for that?
