I'm having a real aversion to fiction right now. I've just been reading too much of it for the past few years, and I'm finding it hard to focus or get invested. I was wondering if anyone could recommend some good nonfiction books. I'm not sure what kind of nonfiction I'm interested in, just anything that is an absolute must-read or something topical, perhaps?

Neither wolf nor dog by Kent Nerburn
Bill Bryson, Short history of nearly everything
*The dawn of everything* by Davids Graeber and WengrowÂ
*The Jakarta method* by Vincent Bevins
500 mile walkies by Mark Wallington is great, an easy read and really funny.
Memoirs are great. Born a Crime by Trevor Noah, The Glass Castle, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, The Liars Club
Human Acts by Han Kang is technically historical fiction but barely. It’s about these protests in Korea in the 80s that lead to a massacre by government soldiers. True events but Han imagines what the trauma was like for the victims. It’s dark yet poetic and beautiful writing
