A Non-Fiction a Month – 1 New Excellent Non-Fiction Every Month

A Non-Fiction a Month is a reading project for people who want to read more or at least one non-fiction book a month. I love non-fiction books, and whenever I read one, I promise myself to read more. After a while, I forget all about it and, end up rereading fiction. Don’t get me wrong; I love fiction! But, I think that non-fiction books are like superfoods for our brains, and we have to nurture them more often. Learning new things with books, especially if they are beautifully written, is a fascinating experience. I want to experience it more often.

I’m really interested in the new non-fiction. I think the hyper-digital culture has changed our brains in ways we cannot begin to fathom.

So I’ve decided to read at least one non-fiction a month from now on. To keep up with my reading, I’ve created this reading project so that you guys can discover fascinating non-fiction books and recommend me titles as well. I’ll try to read as diversely as I can. I’ll be reading memoirs, biographies, commentaries, diaries and a lot more! From travel writing to popular science and nature writing to psychology, there is a lot I’m eager to discover. I must say I will be reading a lot about art and artists’ lives. So stay tuned, and please share your favourite non-fiction books with me.

Non-fiction, and in particular the literary memoir, the stylised recollection of personal experience, is often as much about character and story and emotion as fiction is.
