What’s the best non fiction book you’ve ever read that a newbie to non fiction would enjoy?
I read a lot of fiction and would like to try some non fiction and I just need some suggestions. I like a lot of different topics so fire away. Thanks!
Say Nothing by Patrick Radden Keefe. It deals with the Troubles in Northern Ireland. There is a lot of tragedy in it but it is an incredibly riveting book.
I also liked Command and Control by Eric Schlosser, about America’s nuclear arms program. Some of the science in it might seem dry if you are not into that but it does not take up too much space. Plus it’s kind of mind blowing learning about how many times the US came close to nuking itself by accident.

I almost exclusively read fiction, but my favorite non-fiction book is [Bird by Bird](https://app.thestorygraph.com/books/6aedad6f-3f8e-4fc0-94ce-4cc74be14d61) by Anne Lamott, and I’ve reread it several times now
