30 days of me...Day 14

Non-fiction book.

I don't read a lot of non-fiction. While it inspires me, I read to loss myself and get away from teh world around me so I don't often choose to read about it. My favorite is probably Jon Krakauer Under the Banner of Heaven. It's a very interesting book of Fundamentalist Mormonism and it's affects on it's people and the world according to them. I've read it 3 times now and will probably read it again. I also enjoyed The Hot Zone about the Ebola virus and how it could essentially kill us all. I kind of have the urge to go find a non-fiction book to increase my knowledge base now....

  1. Oh, thanks for the reminder about 'Under the Banner of Heaven' - I wanted to pick up that book. 'The Hot Zone' sounds interesting, a bit depressing, but interesting.

  3. Gaah I now feel utterly wasteful of my life. I can't remember the last non-fiction book I've read. Probably back in High School 12 years ago. *hangsheadinshame*
