So you think you hate nonfiction

Accessible non-fiction titles that are a good intro to the genre—suggestions always welcome! As an added bonus, most of the audiobooks are also great 🎧

It is, cuz one I've already read, and 3 are on my interested shelf so now I'm gonna add the rest ig sighs

I think Radden Keefe's Say Nothing would also be good to add here too! tbh I think in Say Nothing he does a bit better at intertwining all the stories/tangents than he does in London Falling.

also The Innocent Man by John Grisham - I've never read any of his thrillers, but I really like his non-fiction work!

Thank you!!

np! i could probably rec more but i would probably end up dominating the list with just true crime stuff 🤭

SmilepalOP

Hey man not a bad thing 😂🩷🩷

Even if they don’t go on to the list, they’ll go straight onto my tbr lol
