My only criteria is it has to be non-fiction, but it doesn't matter the subject…it could be a memoir, true crime, unsolved mystery, history, etcetera. Please include a few words summarizing the premise of the book if the title and author don't make it obvious, without spoilers. Your assistance is most appreciated! 🤗

Educated, by Tara Westover. An unschooled, abused daughter of fundamentalist Mormons manages to get an education and out of poverty.
H D Thoreau’s Walden, a memoir about his time ‘in the woods’, or about taking your own path.
Nuclear War by Annie Jacobsen. How one could conceivably start and the consequences. Outstanding
Loving vs. Virginia by Patricia Hruby Powell. I love that book so much.
Endurance by Alfred Lansing. It’s the story of Ernest Shackleton’s failed trip to the South Pole.
The fatal shore, not because the author is a great fabulist but because the story of australia is that good to begin with
Shadow Divers, oh my god couldn’t stop reading it
Klondike: The Last Great Gold Rush (Pierre Berton). Thrilling and terrifying. Made a huge impression on me.
