I haven't read that many non-fiction books, but I have read a few. Of those few include All But My Life, The Diary of Anne Frank, Fast Food Nation, The Search for Amelia Earhart, and Founding Brothers. All But My Life is an autobiography, The Diary of Anne Frank is a diary, Fast Food Nation is a criticism, The Search for Amelia Earhart is a biography, and Founding Brothers is a history. I remember in All But My Life at one point Gerda Weissman saying that dieing would be a luxury and I just foind that so humbling. I really liked in the beginning of Fast Food Nation how Eric Schlosser compared fast food to a secret underground facility, like fast food companies are more than meets the eye...in a bad way. I don't really remember much about reading The Diary of Anne Frank, but I have been to her hiding place and it was incredibly sad to think of the terrible things that people had gone through in those times. The Search for Amelia Earhart was very interesting to read because I felt that she inspired so many women to greatness, just from doing the things that she loved and wanted to do. Even though some of my classmates felt that Founding Brothers was a boring book, I quite enjoyed it. I loved learning all the facts of what really happened at the duel between Hamilton and Burr and what led up to the duel. Despite what I originally thought, non-fiction can be cool to read!
