The pumpkins have been carved, the candy has been eaten, the costumes have been packed away, and just like that, it's November! If you're looking for something new to read, consider jumping on the Nonfiction November bandwagon. If the thought of reading nonfiction puts you to sleep, you haven't explored the variety of fascinating subgenres available on the shelves. There's truly something for everyone; biographies/autobiographies; memoirs; true crime; science; history; business; self-help; philosophy & social sciences; cookbooks & food writing; essays; investigative journalism, the list goes on and on. No matter how niche your interests might be, there's a nonfiction read to match your topic of choice. In today's conversation, Steph sits down with Kim and Shan to explore the wide range of nonfiction books they've enjoyed over the years. They'll even offer a librarians' perspective on the Dewey decimal system in modern libraries. Your mind will be buzzing after this conversation!Book Recommendations The Warmth of Other Suns by Isabel WilkersonThe Residence: Inside the Private World of the White House by Kate Andersen BrowerIn the Dream House by Carmen Maria MachadoStiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers by Mary RoachAssassination Vacation by Sarah VowellThe Six Wives of Henry VIII by Alison WeirEverything Is Tuberculosis: The History and Persistence of Our Deadliest Infection by John GreeneIn Cold Blood by Truman CapoteJohn Adams by David McCullough The Glass Castle by Jeannette WallsLong Live the Tribe of Fatherless Girls: A Memoir by T Kira MaddenBad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup by John CarreyrouCultish: The Language of Fanaticism-Understanding the Social Science of Cult Influence by Amanda MontellKilling Yourself to Live: 85% of a True Story by Chuck KlostermanShrill: Notes from a Loud Woman by Lindy WestPure Innocent Fun by Ira Madison III Intro Music by nikitsan
