I love your non-fiction list! It looks like you’ve read some good ones in some of my favorite sub-genres :)

I LOVE this linky … I’ll make sure to link up when I have non-fiction reviews. My list is growing :) http://guiltlessreading.blogspot.ca/2009/01/non-fiction-reviews.html

I’m drawn to food and science non-fiction, which seem to incorporate narrative non-fiction. (Or narrative non-fiction incorporates food and science non-fiction? Bah.) And science geeks unite! :D

I think you can probably do a decent amount of branching out even within narrative non-fiction. Mostly it tends to be books about history, but sometimes books on scientific discoveries are written that way too. Narrative non-fiction can also include “micro-histories”, histories focused on one small thing, like Salt for example, so you can get narrative non-fiction on lots of different topics.

The Accidental Universe sounded especially good to me to, as did Naked Statistics. I’m definitely a science geek when it comes to my non-fiction! I hope you have a good weekend too :)

I often feel there’s very little difference between narrative non-fiction and fiction except non-fiction is even cooler because it actually happened :)
