The Heart's Code by Paul Pearsall is a book I liked and read more than once. I guess I have more than one favorite. The Kon-Tiki Expedition by Thor Heyerdahl is about a great real life adventure.
See the sub-topic Non Fiction Books at my recent post on this site about Books I had read in the past decade or so...
The Kon-Tiki Expedition looks great and thank you for sharing your books post!
A more recent adventure (real life tragedy) book is Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer. Someone had presented me this book for one of my birthdays. Can never forget this one and is very re-readable.
Would Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: A Savage Journey to the Heart of the American Dream be considered non-fiction? If so, I'm rolling with that.
I didn't know that was a book. I don't know but it looks like a good read, thanks for sharing
Oh, it's a lotta fun and totally ridiculous! I hope you enjoy it, Adam. It had me laughing out loud so many times.
Content warning though, there is copious substance abuse β it's the early 70's and there are lots of psychedelics and well pretty much everything else!
There's also a movie based on the book that was directed by Terry Gilliam... it stars Johnny Depp and Benicio Del Toro. It's a blast and well worth a watch if you're into the book!
"I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki" by Baek Sehee was sad and had self-deprecating humor at times but it was so relatable and made me understand myself better.
As an ADHD sufferer I can understand life can be a challenge that's an understatement, thanks Iay check this out
So what's mine?
Woodland craft by Ben Law because who doesn't want to know how to make a spoon a yurt and a broom!
Lean Analytics and the Slow Start Problem are my recent favorites β€οΈ
I shall Google them shortly
Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir
Haha sounds quirky I'll take a look thanks!
GEB:
GΓΆdel, Escher, Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid, also known as GEB, is a 1979 book by Douglas Hofstadter.
This book is a remarkable journey into the intersection of science, ethics, and the extraordinary human story behind the HeLa cells. Skloot's narrative skillfully weaves together the scientific marvel of immortal cells with the deeply personal and often heart-wrenching history of Henrietta Lacks and her family. It's a book that not only educates but also deeply touches the reader's emotions, leaving a lasting impression.
