hey everyone, I’m doing a cross country drive and am looking to find something good to listen to. when driving long distances I seem to only get a lot of enjoyment out of non fiction rather than fiction so I’m looking for something in that realm. for authors that I’ve enjoyed I really like Michael Pollen, John krakauer, and Malcolm gladwell. I’ve really enjoyed that type of journalism type writing for lack of a better term. I’ve also liked historical non fiction. I really enjoyed both “the indifferent stars above” and “endurance”. If you have any recs that you think would be up my alley feel free to send them my way. thanks!
