Non-Fiction

I've recommended a lot of fiction books on Audrey Onassis, but lately I've been trying to expand my reading horizons into non-fiction, as well. Here is a list of non-fiction books I've read this year, along with books I have been wanting to pick up.

Not so good. The author was weirdly pompous and the book was messy with dropped names.

Pretty good, maybe a little boring. Lots of history, which was a change of pace from what I'd been used to in etiquette books.

Fascinating. Totally different than the Wall Street Journal article makes it seem. I read it in one afternoon.

Quite good, as I posted last Friday.

Haven't read it yet but, all of a sudden, I find myself with an interest in women's issues that I've never had before. Can't wait to get my hands on this one.

I read an excerpt from this one in the Wall Street Journal (can you tell I have an online subscription through work?), and I really enjoyed reading the author's words. I have this one on hold.

I read The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens for a class in high school and, though it was cheesy as sin, it was also relevant and interesting.

I read the author's Glamour blog for awhile before this book was published. I didn't care for her style very much, but I can't help but be interested in this project. I've given myself permission to put this one down if I don't like it, something I rarely do.

Who doesn't love Tina Fey? I mean, really.

I must admit that I am one of those people who is always up for a crazy diet. I think it's because I love having a project.

What are your favorite non-fiction books?
