I Feel Pithy Book Blog

I am a die-hard fan of fiction. When I go to the library, I head straight for the fiction section. I scan Amazon and book blogs for new books to read. For me, reading is an escape, and fiction is the greatest escape. This is not to say that I don't read nonfiction. I simply don't seek it out as quickly.

I have read and enjoyed several things of the nonfiction variety. But, I don't feel as though I have read enough. I've read biographies and autobiographies. I've read books about food and true crime books. I'm not a total neophyte, but I am definitely not as versed as I should be at 30 years old in the world of nonfiction. Reading M.F.K Fisher's The Art of Eating, has opened my eyes to just how rich nonfiction can be. So, of course I want more.

So, dear readers, I am seeking your advice. Toss some titles my way. I've said it before, and I will say it again; I will read anything once. That's not to say I like everything I read, but I like having the option of liking or disliking something.

What are your favorite nonfiction titles?

I was actually looking at design sites. I love to see what other people can do with code. Anyway, I came across this website and thought I would be remiss if I didn't post about it here.

This has got to be one of the cooler things I've ever found on the internet. Thanks to popculturejunkmail for the link. I think I am going to have to go through my books and take pictures of the inscriptions now. Of course, I've donated so many of my books to the Oasis Youth Shelter that I really need to hit the used book store again.

Anyway, check it out: The Book Inscriptions Project.
