Trish at Trish’s Reading Nook is hosting the summertime readalong, Non-Fiction Five 2009<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Educating Alice<\/em> by Alice Steinbach<\/li>\n
  2. The Geography of Bliss<\/em> by Eric Weiner<\/li>\n
  3. Walden<\/em> by Henry David Thoreau<\/li>\n
  4. The Sun in the Morning<\/em> by M.M. Kaye<\/li>\n
  5. Reading the OED<\/em> by Ammon Shea<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
