Non-fiction: read and recommended
Discussion
(I could have sworn that someone has already started such a thread, but can't find it anywhere)
The 'what are you reading' thread is good but quite fiction-focussed. I thought it might be handy for non-fiction to be kept separate, for a number of reasons I can't be bothered to type out.
Kicking it straight off, I've just finished Londoners: The Days and Nights of London Now - as Told by Those Who Love it, Hate it, Live it, Left it and Long for it
It's a series of monologues flowing from interviews with people who live in, work in, used to live in etc. London. If London fascinates you, you'll enjoy it; if people's reasons for living and working and enjoying or hating their environment interests you, you'll enjoy it too.
A great social snapshot of the capital and its inhabitants.
