Can Anyone Recommend Some Good Non-Fiction Books?

[Ms Diddles]

Right now I am in the process of checking out places to stay, restaurants and things to do. Keeping a list. Of course, have to wait till Covid is under control and I feel comfortable flying.

Even if it doesn't happen imminently, isn't it great to be able to make some kind of tentative plans for the future again after a year on hold?!

Oh! Please post pictures if you do get to go, and have a spare minute!

I'm fascinated by the place!

Yes, I have read it and I agree it was quite good. Have been looking into a trip to Savannah myself.

I'll third the Suspicions of Mr Whicher.

If you've not already read it, I'd recommend Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil too.

I love that book and it really makes me want to visit Savannah, Georgia!

Thanks to everyone who responded. I will check out the suggestions. Always a tough decision.

I second the Suspicions of Mr Whicher, a splendid read.

The Lost, by Daniel Mendelsohn, is incredible. About the author researching what happened to his Jewish relatives in their polish town during wwii and trying to track down anybody who might remember them.

I have a couple of books:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Su..._of_Mr_Whicher
and
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michigan_Murders the book by Edward Keyes.

One I'm reading now is, The Gunpowder Plot:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gu..._Faith_in_1605

Possibly not everyone's cup of tea, but I found this quite fascinating, the author is a metalurgist, so he knows what he is talking about with regards the copper scroll.

I would suggest,'The last colonials', by Peta Gay Jensen.

I'll Be Gone in the Dark by Michelle McNamara is a book I highly recommend. After reading it I would suggest watching the six part HBO documentary of the same name. It's about EARONS however every aspect is all very sad and tragic.

Zodiac and Zodiac Unmasked by Robert Graysmith are entertaining reads but how much is fact and how much is fiction is debatable.

Something completely different from true crime is The Secret of the Spear by Alec McLellan which might sound quite wacky but I found it interesting and after reading it, it resulted in me going on a short trip to Vienna.

Hopefully not too esoteric. I have a broad range of interests but really don't want to read the History of Slugs or Bed Frames of the 18th Century. So what do you recommend?
