And I really enjoyed the Stephen Fatsis Word Freak as well. Another of my favorite non-fiction authors is William Goldman (author of The Princess Bride), though he hasn't come out with anything for awhile. Thanks for reminding me about travel books as a subgenre as well-- I tend to get stuck in memoirs, which can be a lot of fun.Let's Bookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11831054494195507934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7497062501059248350.post-3800164298486518672012-02-05T13:48:09.109-06:002012-02-05T13:48:09.109-06:00I'm in the hated Angela's Ashes camp.

I can only think of 2 non-fiction books that I've ever liked, and finished.
