Fiction and Non Fiction books

pinkchocoholic

Just a reminder which is which 

Fiction - Made-up stories, imagined worlds, and synthesized events.

Non Fiction - Real events, verified facts, and actual people.

I've noticed I have read more fiction books than non fiction books

I would like to read more non fiction books but unsure where to start, not sure what would interest me etc

Any non fiction books recommendations anyone else is appreciated Thumbsup

Plus if there's any fiction books that relate to non fiction books I'll give them a go (would be good to read nonfiction book them a fiction book based on it!)

  • I mostly read non-fiction. I love books on astrophysics and physics in general, they make some really complex ideas surprisingly accessible.

    I also enjoy anything related to history and different cultures. I find it fascinating learning how cultures developed over time, the historical context behind them, and how that has shaped languages, traditions and behaviours today.

    Philosophy is another subject I'd definitely recommend if you enjoy asking "why" about the world and how people think. It's one of those topics that links really well with history, psychology and culture too, so there's plenty to explore.

    If you're not sure where to start, I'd just pick a topic you're already curious about rather than worrying about the non-fiction label. It's much easier to get into when you're genuinely interested in the subject.
