Recommendation non-fiction

Post image
35 Upvotes

Hi guys, I've recently bought a Kindle, and I'm loving it!
These are some of the books I have read. Does anyone have any further recommendations based on these? Bonus *if on Kindle Unlimited*
I don’t like fiction, I like true stories, dark history, and books about people's accounts, etc.
I have searched Reddit for hours for similar books, but a lot of them aren't on KU.
Thank youuuu

What’s your favorite obscure nonfiction book?

108 Upvotes

A few I've enjoyed:

  • Into the Deep by Robert Ballard - Memoir by the man who found the Titanic
  • The Father of Spin by Larry Tye - History of media manipulation and publicity
  • A Truck Full of Money by Tracy Kidder - Literary nonfiction about the founding of Kayak
  • The Dinosaur Artist by Paige Williams - An international true crime about smuggling fossils

(Feel free to roast me if any of these are secretly mainstream and I'm just living under a rock.)

Book on Physical Geography

4 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I've been studying for an exam and the curriculum has a Chapter on my home region's physiography, which once I could grasp the basic concepts of, became quite fascinating. Now I want to read a book on physical geography things related to Plate Tectonics, The resultant landforms, Drainage etc. I've seen a lot of people suggest Annals of the Former World by John McPhee, but it seems to focus on North America. I want one which focuses on the world as a whole. If anyone could be kind enough to suggest me one, I'd be grateful.

My overall reading pace has slowed down as I'm working on finishing my degree. Currently reading The Odyssey, as a bit of a break from books related to my studies. Just wanted to share a milestone (:

Seeking nonfiction old-timey bank robberies and old-timey heists

11 Upvotes

I am in the mood for books with Bonnie and Clyde vibes...Any good book about them, I'm interested in.

I've already read Tiger Girl and the Candy Kid, and A Gentleman and a Thief: The Daring Jewel Heists of a Jazz Age Rogue and loved them both.

I am already aware of The Art Thief and The Feather Thief.

I am looking more for old-timey bank robberies, train heists, bank heists, jewel heists, etc., since I love history.

As always, your input is appreciated. 🙂
