I thought that one sounded good too! Maybe it’s because I’ve been reading Kim at Sophisticated Dorkiness’s blog for so long, but books about journalism always catch my attention

The Invention of News sounds great, just added it to my list.

Wow, your current read sounds like a heavy read! I recently tried a book on bombing during WWII and it ended up including far too many statistics and not enough story, so I actually ended up not finishing it. I’m glad you’re enjoying the book you’re reading more

Interesting links to posts about the value of non-fiction reading. My husband is a big non-fiction reader. I do read some non-fiction, but mostly it is the type I can read in pieces, and I do have trouble reading some really long ones. I am in the middle of reading Wartime Britain 1939-1945 (actually getting close to page 600 of 690). It has taken me a long time to get through it, although it is very interesting and I have learned a lot.
