For anyone else who likes non-fiction, but not fiction, these are all fiction, as far as I can tell. Even the short stories one, which includes "humor," is all fiction. Just wanted to save other like-minded peeps the trouble of checking for themselves.

I find non-fiction books entertaining.

That piece of info will save me several minutes each time that they come out--I can just skip them. Thanks for responding.

Oops. Just read skinmaaaaaaaaaan's post. Mine just now was pretty redundant.
