We can listen to it in the car on the way to Eva’s house!

That sounds AMAZING. Another fascinating food book was Banana: The Fate of the Fruit that Changed the World. Bizarre but great. Gloria Steinem was short and fabulous I thought. Catherine the Great was excellent but definitely not short!

You’ve totally sold me on Adnan’s story. I will get that on my library list.

I admire that you’re tackling participating in nonfiction November. I’ve read a couple of nonfiction and may get one more in, but think I’ll save actual participation for next year!

Thank you, I think it will be fun! I just need to get better (more honest) about what interests me and what doesn’t. When I choose based on other people’s interests it never works.

I bet it would be good- depending on narrator. There’s a lot of detail.

I can already tell it’s going to be a struggle to read the six I have so will bookmark your recommendations list!

Reading Salt right now and yes, the food industry does not fare well, but when has it ever worked for the public good? The dollar wins out in every industry!

Glad to hear I have at least two good options to look forward to!

Oh lordy, I’m reading Sugar Salt Fat right now and it is depressing as hell- but interesting!

You should definitely try Adnan’s Story! Serial hardly scratched the surface.

I’m a huge Bruce fan and am on the hold list at the library, but there are 375 people ahead of me so it will be awhile! Still, something wonderful to look forward to.

I’m mid-way into it and loving it! I don’t read a lot of nonfiction either but this book is like ice cream to me. It’s so good (if you’re even a little bit of a Bruce fan). It’s a fast read too. Not sure what other nonfiction books might be on my radar: but I’ve wanted to read “H Is For Hawk” for a long while. Waiting for the right time perhaps. Fiction is usually more alluring for sure.
