Can you suggest some good non-fiction books?

Question

I'm a 20 year old female and just love to learn. Educational books are just too heavy to lug around. I'm interested in just about anything but love any type of theory, ethics and psychology.

Thanks!

Answer 3

a child called it is a really great easy read and so sad and eye-opening.

also a long way gone. its about a child soldier in africa who was kidnapped and brainwashed into killing. its so good and its an autobiography.

also this turned out to be fake but a million little pieces was really good.

Answer 4

It's kind of sad that you don't think you can learn from Fiction books. Some great authors use fiction to make points that can't be done in non-fiction. You can especially learn a lot in theory/ethics/psych in fiction. I'm not trying to patronize, just saying.

Albert Camus is one of my favorite authors, he does some fiction and non-fiction. "The Stranger" is one of my favorites by him.
