Doesn't everyone learn that it's wrong to steal, and that plagiarism is stealing? Anyway...<br><br>I don't read a lot of non-fiction, but I usually enjoy it whenever I pick up a non-fiction book to read. I love memoirs, particularly of the humorous variety, cooking essays, cook books, travel diaries, and books about science and culture. I participate in a book club with my workplace's diversity office, and it currently provides all my non-fiction fodder.

You're right--how do you know?! <br><br>I'm all over the map when it comes to non-fiction. I tend to gravitate towards memoirs or narrative non-fiction but also love other little subgenres. Right now I'm listening to The Omnivore's Dilemma by Pollan and next month I'll read A Walk in the Woods by Bryson and Naked by Sedaris. Looking forward to both of them!Trishhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8440492898775542760.post-50685234339268644722013-05-31T11:44:17.525-04:002013-05-31T11:44:17.525-04:00Yes!
