Jounge Weekly Book Club: Non-fiction selections


May 19, 2022, 8:01 AM

I'm tired of the same rehashed fiction books of Kindle Unlimited. Same plot, different names and places.

What's a good non-fiction you've read?

I've read "Upstairs at the White House" by J.B West

I've made it 75% of the way through "Mindhunter" by John Douglass (the book they based the netflix series on)

"On Full Automatic: Surviving 13 Months in Vietnam" by William V. Taylor Jr.

Serious, Libby/Overdrive through your public library has a better selection than kindle unlimited

Anything by David McCullough is good, I’ve got this one on my read next list

Here is some modern non fiction that you might be

interested. Not much of a plot, but probably a good payoff.

Anything by Jon Krakauer is worth your time.

Into Thin Air is my favorite. Gripping story and easy to read.

Perfect time of the year for Into Thin Air


May 19, 2022, 10:59 AM

Into the Wild, Under the Banner of Heaven, and Where Men Win Glory are all spectacular. Eiger Dreams was good. I have not read any of his newer stuff.
