Suggest a non-fiction book

Post Reply New Topic

Hello all,

I've been listening to a lot of audio books lately, and I'm looking for some inspiration as to what to listen to next.

Any of you out there read anything particularly interesting, that you would suggest to someone else? I'm open to suggestions as long as they are non-fiction, I have no interest in fictional books for the most part.

Thanks,

CFL

are you looking for true stories or to learn something?

Heaven and Hell: A History of the Afterlife, by Bart D. Ehrman

The long walk by Sławomir Rawicz

Solar-to-Fuel Conversion in Algae and Cyanobacteria by Cinzia Formighieri (series SpringerBriefs in Environmental Science)

My Dark Places, by James Ellroy.

Crime fiction writer James Ellroy opens up about how his life had spiraled out of control with drugs, alcohol, criminality, and homelessness as an adult, starting from the unsolved murder of his estranged mother when he was a boy. He talks about his lifelong obsession with murdered women, in particular the Black Dahlia, who very much was a surrogate for the mother, with whose memory he had long had a love/hate relationship. It's also very much a biography of his mother, and his eventual quest to solve the mystery of her murder. In the end, he doesn't find his mother's killer, but he rediscovers his long lost love for her.
Personally, I think a good case could be made for Ellroy being on the spectrum, himself.

Thank you to everyone who posted suggestions, I will look into these on a later date.

Cheers,
