For me to read non-fiction quickly, I admit (sadly) that it has to be more popular history or science than the longer and more intense ones.<br /><br />Though I can read Georgian English history books all day long :-)Aartihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02354873119188597611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6352625826349400447.post-57082035766839331472010-03-14T18:01:01.491+01:002010-03-14T18:01:01.491+01:00Congrats on finishing your thesis chapters!!
I us...Congrats on finishing your thesis chapters!!<br /><br />I used to only read fiction too, but now probably love them both, just in different ways. Bill Bryson is awesome. My husband read the "Short History of Nearly Everything" and loved it, and I read "Mother Tongue: The Story of the English Language" and also found it hilarious. If you like the Dalai Lama, you might find books by Krishnamurti or Thich Nhat Hanh of interest.<br /><br />I'm now reading "Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide" by Kristof and WuDunn and it's astounding. So many personal stories combined with facts, data, and worldwide trends. It's brilliant and inspiring.<br /><br />My hubby also just finished reading "Three Cups of Tea" by Greg Mortenson and raved about it. I haven't read it yet - I'm challenging myself to read books only by women authors for one year. But when that year is up, I'm definitely going to pick it up.Jade @ Tasting Gracehttp://jadekeller.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6352625826349400447.post-11616553351240135212010-03-14T17:41:35.313+01:002010-03-14T17:41:35.313+01:00It took me a long while to realise I loved non-fic...It took me a long while to realise I loved non-fiction too, but now I wonder how I ever lived without reading it regularly!<br /><br />Looking forward to your thoughts on Anne of Avonlea :)Ana S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16092495983972185943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6352625826349400447.post-25840610068031643482010-03-14T15:46:02.917+01:002010-03-14T15:46:02.917+01:00Not everyone is, and that is okay.
