favorite non-fiction books?

I just realized that no one every really talks about non-fiction books. my favorite are:

-'The diet for teenagers only', can't remember the authors names at the moment. this is an awesome book. i'm not fat but this isnt really a diet. its more about living healthy and knowing how to eat well-balanced meals and how much of what foods you should eat per day depending on your bmi and stuff. its awesome. sometimes i read it just for fun. plus its one of those non-fics that are fun to read and it attracts you because its all pretty colors and nicely laid out and what not.

my other favorite is cookbooks. any kind. i just love them. i like to go through them sometimes and just read the recipes and think of meals surrounding a certain recipe. im a cooking nerd. my favorite cookbook is 'teens cook'(in my pants) and i cant remember the authors name of that either but its two sisters named meg and jill something i think.

so what are you favorite non-fics?

Other than that, though, I've got to stick with my beloved new journalism masterpiece (In Cold Blood by Truman Capote).; ▶ Reply to This

He was a middle east correspondent and this book is about his eperiences (objective news from that area is impossible, the difficulties of making news without freedom of speech, the power of propaganda etc.) The title means: They're just like people but I don't think it's translated into english.; ▶ Reply to This

It is a touching, sad, yet humorous book about living life. Much better the last autobiography I read for AP Biology (A Life Decoded: My Genome: My Life by J. Craig Venter).; ▶ Reply to This
