I typically decide what to read next either on a whim or because it’s a book I need to review. I have no more solid process than that!

I haven’t read any of these, but I like Bryson’s writing so why not that one? I’ve heard good things.

I have not read any of these, but they all sound good! I always collect so many recommendations from Nonfiction November too. This year I recommended The Body Keeps the Score: Mind, Brain, and Body in the Transformation of Trauma most highly. I also loved An Anthropologist on Mars by Oliver Sacks. And I read Maya Angelou’s entire sequence of memoirs, starting with I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, which was amazing. Enjoy reading your way through this list!

I’m excited to see Bad Blood on your list, because I really enjoyed that one. I’m also interested in getting to Space Barons and possibly The Body. I didn’t love Bryson’s A Short History of Nearly Everything, but I’ve heard good things about The Body, even from people who don’t always love his books.

Good list–I like the sound of The Power of Small. I’ll look for it–thanks.

Oh what a great idea to use the Kindle sample option. I do that sometimes for fiction but never thought about it for non fiction (hangs head in shame). Actually it makes more sense for non fiction to sample the book first because I’m always concerned a book could be too “academic” and dry.

Thanks for the inside tip!!!

wow intriguing titles. The one about the body and its occupants fascinates me. I am still rereading the Interior Castle and slowly digesting its wisdom but will move on to something else soon. Just picked up Domestic Monastery by Ron Rolheiser and am in a book club that will be reading together Howard Thurman’s Jesus and the Disinherited.

I keep hearing about Isabel Wilkerson and getting more curious. And I guess we are getting our recommendations from similar wells. I want to get back to my local library, a habit I have missed.

I have not read any of those books, but this is the third (or fourth?) time in a week that someone has mentioned “The Warmth of Other Suns”. Talk about God giving me a nudge… Happy Thanksgiving, Lisa!
