  1. So I need a book before the end of this week that is non-fiction... It also cannot be a biography.

    I was thinking maybe Fast Food Nation, or something more interesting .. What do you guys think??? What would you read if you have to do this book review??

    PS I don't have to just read it, I have to write book logs, reviews, etc..

    Thanks Alot
     
  2. I have a book that's called Classic Rock Stories and its a pretty short paper back, easy to read about how old hit songs were made and stuff like that. Its a pretty neat read. :wave:
     
  3. Well what kinds of books are you interested in?
     
  4. fear and loathing in las vegas

    not sure if its non fiction
    but its a good read
     
  5. Granted, I don't know what your disposition towards religion is, but the best non-fic I've read recently would be Richard Dawkins - The God Delusion
     
  6. Oh I'm very open minded towards religion, but I don't really want my teacher to make judgments based on it.

    But remember the book can't be a biography.
     
  7. Also, it has to be 300 pages.
     
  8. I was going to say Go Ask Alice, but its not 300 pages.

    That book is badass, but really sad at the end,
     
  9. Fear and Loathing as well as most of thompsons work is 'gonzo' so not considered non-fiction...

    the book "Bay of Pigs" by him - though boring, will probably work.


    EDIT- "Kingdom Of Fear" Thompsons last book before he died i think is non-fiction. it's around 400-500 pages too.

    Was a great read, and i seem to remember him assuring the reader that everythings true a few times.
     
  10. Boring ehh....

    I'd rather read something not so boring, but I do like Thompson's work.
     
  11. Kingdom of Fear was not at all boring.
     
  12. Would Kingdom of Fear be an autobiography?
     
  13. fiction... 'gonzo journalism' alot of it is fictional accounts, or twisted accounts of what happened.
     
  14. Damnit, I need non-fiction lol...

    I'll continue looking.
     
  15. "The Spiritual Path: Buddha Zen Tao Tantra" By Ocho.
     
  16. I was thinking

    "Art of Happiness" By Dalali Lama
     
  17. ooh, i was way off hehe
     
  18. Tortue eh, looks interestering.
     
  19. Well the topic is so rubric..

    Non-fiction, Non-Biographical

    There's so many things I could do, and so many things I didn't even think of. Such as torture! hahaha.

    Thanks for your insight.
