I have some audible credits. What’s a non-fiction book that changed your life? Or didn’t change anything but made you think a lot! I need a break from my fantasy epic novels.

How do you feel about short stories? It's fiction but Someone Who Will Love You in All Your Damaged Glory broke me apart and put me back together again.

THE PRIZE by Daniel Yergin might be the greatest work of nonfiction since the Constitution. Otherwise, most works by Michael Lewis are worthwhile and very accessible for the general-interest reader.

I’m sure it’s a good read, but also great to listen to, but I loved Barbarian Days by William Finnegan. It’s a memoir about surfing and I am not a surfer at all.

A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson....it's unbelievably great

Quit like a woman

I LOVE non-fiction. Here a list that’s too long.

The autobiography of Malcolm X
This Boy’s Life
Viv Albertine’s book
Earth to Moon
Sick in the Head
Hello Molly!
Comedy Comedy Comedy Drama
American Desperado
Wishful Drinking
Nickel and Dimed
Yearbook- Seth Rogen
Acid for the Children

The Rick Rubin book. It's a masturbatory reflection on creative inspiration

I don't actually like Trevor Noah as a comedian, but his autobiography "Born a Crime" is great. And it's a good audiobook because you get to hear him speak the multiple languages

“Smoke Gets In Your Eyes: And Other Lessons from the Crematory” by Caitlin Doughty. It’s the memoir of a person who describes herself as “functionally morbid” and gets a job at a crematorium. Super fascinating look at the death industry and examination of death in American culture. One of the most interesting books I’ve read.

How Emotions Are Made

Class by Paul Fussell

King Leopold’s Ghost radicalized me.

Life by Keith Richards. (Prepare to feel like you haven’t done enough with yours)

Darkest White (if you’re into the outdoors)

Maybe giving myself away here but Chernow’s Grant bio. Basically a complete failure until his 40s, he ended up as arguably our greatest American.

Now, with a loss of pay , we are going to make less. Do you think I will be eligible for Loan forgiveness?
