FOR THE LOVE OF NON-FICTION

Here's a page I'm devoting strictly to non-fiction. I hope to share some fun, interesting, and exciting reading material with you. I guarantee that these books will not bore you. My plan is to keep this page updated with books that I have personally found appealing. My goal will be to get you to read some of these books and share your thoughts about them with me and others. Periodically I'll be updating the selections. So check back from time to time if you're in the mood to read something new. Any comments can be sent to: SqueakyChu@hotmail.com
