I read Sin in the Second City by: Karen Abbott around the same time as this and both were fantastic!
Tiffany Snow’s China Mack Corrupted Hearts series… Follow Me, Break Me, Find Me and Save Me.
The Pleasure Of Finding Things Out
In Order to Live by Yeonmi Park
Family Don’t End With Blood, couldn’t make it through some essays without crying though.
The Glass Castle -Jeannette Walls, Breaking Night-Liz Murrary, The Sound of Gravel – Ruth Wariner, North of Normal: A Memoir of My Wilderness Childhood, My Unusual Family, and How I Survived Both -Cea Sunrise Person. All really good and inspiring!
And the Band Played on by: Randy Shilts. Hands down the best non-fiction I’ve ever read.
Yes! I read it and what a real life page turner.
A Cast of Killers by Sidney D. Kirkpatrick
Oh, I read your post wrong. I suggested a fictional series. My apologies.
The Murder Room by Micheal Capuzzo is also fascinating but quite gorey. If true crime is your thing though I would highly recommend!
If you like Clive Cussler, he wrote a couple nonfiction books (The Sea Hunters, and TSH 2) about actual shipwrecks he’s helped find and, when possible, raise!
Devil in the White City by Erik Larsen
The Last Lecture. It’s amazing
The glass castle was very good!!
Oh my! I thought of one.
Lost Moon by Jim Lovell
I think I’ve read it thrice, I enjoyed it so much. What a miracle they experienced! (Apollo 8 )
Stay hungry .. stay foolish :):)
Death’s Acre by Bill Bass
Salt by Mark Kurlansky. Paper:Paging thru History by the same author is excellent as well.
“God’s Wolf”. The story of Rene De Chatillion & Saladin. I read a lot of non-fiction & this one was great.
Thank you all, I will go to Barnes and nobles to check out each of your suggestions and will post a pic of the book(s) I buy. Thank you ?
The two best nonfics I’ve read this year:
“”We We Eight Years in Power” by Ta-Nehesi Coates (also wrote some of the Black Panther comics; if you’d like a shorter read try his memoir “Between the World and Me”)
&
“Reading Lolita in Tehran” by Azar Nafisi
I know this will sound kooky but read Willie Nelson’s latest memoir. It’s really good.
Mark Mazower – Dark Continent

I will strongly advice u to read, Final Truth of God Soul and Salvation DEMYSTIFIED. It reveals true nature of God, Soul and Salvation. At the same time it elaborates true path of salvation through highest values of humanism. It is a must read book. Available on amazon.
