It’s great to learn that reading non-fiction books helps you learn about real-life experiences from other people. My friend is looking for content to learn and consume knowledge as an English learner. When we meet again, I will recommend that we find a store that sells non-fiction ebooks.

It’s great that you mentioned that it is possible to learn more about yourself by reading nonfiction books. In my opinion, a great to learn how to improve yourself is by reading about other people and how they have dealt with the things that they have experienced. Learning from others is a good way to ensure that you don’t make the same mistakes that they have made.

In reply to Betty Jo. Maybe you can find one that interests you, Betty Jo. :) On the flipside, I actually don't have any fiction in my stack right now; I am missing it. I like to have at least one novel amidst all my nonfiction books. I'll have to remedy that soon!

Very informative post, Lisa. I have to admit, other than scripture, I lean more towards fiction. But, just reading some of the titles you’ve shared has sparked a desire to check some of them out. Thank you! ♥

In reply to LisaNotes. I wondered if I had read about Never Split the Difference here, Lisa ... now I'm sure I did! I just finished the book yesterday and feel like I need to read it again to absorb more of it. Alas, it is due today at the library. :-) Guess I'll need to get on the wait list again.

In reply to Tiffany Montgomery. Depending on the topic, there are times I actually prefer fiction too so I understand. Before we went to South Dakota a few months ago for the first time, I got a novel written about the building of Mount Rushmore because I knew it would be a far more interesting way to learn about its history than a straight history book. :) It contained so many actual facts (I double-checked a lot of things).

In reply to Jean Wise. Exactly. I do love a novel for escapism and for letting me understand more about other cultures (in America or elsewhere). Advantages in both genres and a good story is always welcome in either!

In reply to Lisbeth @ The Content Reader. I totally agree with you, Lisbeth. I feel like today's nonfiction writers have released the urge to write in a high academic style. I just finished a book written that way, and it was SO difficult to get through (and also unncessary). I'm sure there is still a time and place for that style, but I'm grateful for the proliferation of "everyday" style of writing in nonfiction.

In reply to Shelleyrae @ Book’d Out. Just visited your favorites too, Shelley. It's sometimes difficult to put our finger on exactly why we love nonfiction so much. I do appreciate good anecdotes sprinkled into nonfiction as well, as long as they stay on target. :) I've read some nonfiction that I want to send back to an editor to cut out unnecessary stories. ha.
