Hi everyone,
I have been on a huge Non - Fiction kick. when I am in school the pass of my reading goes way down and my audio book listening goes up. so in the past three weeks I have worked my way twice more through Bill Bryson's great book At Home: a brief history of privet life. - I have already read this in book form but its so good I wanted the audio book. The author reads it - something I'm not really ever a fan of but he does well and its just so interesting that it doesn't matter.
After that I moved on to Stiff: the curious lives of human cadavers by Mary Roach. I have read nothing by her before but now I'm hooked she is hilarious and informative! like Bill Bryson! I finished Stiff (really enjoyed it - if you can deal with some morbidity) and moved on to Bonk: the curious coupling of science and sex. Bonk was also very good but I think that Stiff may have been the slightly better one simply because it made my examine my own morals and ideas.
After Bonk I took a break from Mary Roach and started lessoning to Quiet: the power of introverts in a world that cant stop talking By Susan Cain.
half self help half nonfiction its very interesting and I'm learning a lot and its explaining some things about myself and society that I always wondered about. I have only about a hour of the book left so I'm starting to look for the next one - I might go back to Mary Roach to read her newest book Gulp or maybe Spook. we shall see.
and that's what I have been reading, what about you? anything good? leave a comment below :) - Katie
