What a timely thread! I am very much in a non-fiction phase right now. Just finished 'Living Oprah' by Robyn Okrant, about a woman who goes through an entire year doing everything Oprah says. A few eye-rolling moments, but overall better than I thought it would be. This was a library book (i.e. a proper commercial ebook, untouched by conversion hacks) and even so it had some end of chapter summary tables that were a pain to read on my reader (although they did have a polite warning at the start of the ebook that this may be so).
I am currently reading 'The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks' and it is very good. It is about a woman whose cells became the first 'immortal line' used in medical research. A fascinating story.
Others on my TBR list:
- How I Write by Janet Evanovich
- Great Tales from English History by Robert Lacey
- Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan
