The non-fiction in this group is hard to find. If you are as committed to non-fiction as I am, please post it in this thread. I will add to the thread with Robert MacFarland’s Underland.

I've just finished this book and I cannot begin to describe the amount of respect and admiration I have for the author, Ayaan Hirsi Ali. "Infidel" is an autobiography, and a testament of how resillient and a strong a woman can be. I have always ...

I'm currently reading "The Power Worshippers" by Katherine Stewart. Is anyone else reading this? Seems like a great non-fiction book to discuss here with its meaty contents. I'm only a few hours into it, but I've just got to share that this book ...

Review of the book: "Short History of Atheism", by Gavin Hyman The author is a theologian and this book is intended for theologians only. Whoever expects a "short history of atheism" - like me - will be disappointed. The core ...

I recently managed to get hold of a book I read many years ago, and was more than a little shocked by it. I have for many years been a fan of British horror writer Graham Masterton and have collected almost all of his books bar one. In 1980 under the...

You may be aware that large bookstores have separate sections these days for 'young adult' readers. It's a newish marketing thing. Now I'm not knocking it outright. In fact I just finished "The Hate You Give' by Angie Thomas, a YA book and very...

Anyone else fascinated by Mary Magdalene? I always have been, and especially since texts have been discovered which are purported to be gospels according to Mary. While I'm not convinced there was a real historical Jesus, it's fascinating for me to...

Posted by ReignmondI read this back in 2018. Absolutely loved it. It is an oddly small sized book, so it is good to travel with. [amazon.com]
