Trish at Trish’s Reading Nook is hosting the summertime readalong, Non-Fiction Five 2009.
Read 5 non-fiction books during the months of May-September. At least one non-fiction book [should be] different from your other choices (i.e.: 4 memoirs and 1 self-help).
This was another challenge I made a stab at last year in which I failed miserably. I think it’s time to pull out some true tales and learn some new things. But I’m pages from finishing the first book I’ve chosen, so I feel confident that I’ll be able to meet this year’s goal:
- Educating Alice by Alice Steinbach
- The Geography of Bliss by Eric Weiner
- Walden by Henry David Thoreau
- The Sun in the Morning by M.M. Kaye
- Reading the OED by Ammon Shea
Book selection may change as I find new things to interest me or as these fail to hold up to the D.C. summer heat. Of course, if you have a non-fiction suggestion you think I might like, please leave it in the comments.
