Reading is probably one of my favorite things to do. Whenever I think of books, I get a warm fuzzy feeling (lol). My favorite is non-fiction because true stories catch my interest a lot more. For all of you non-fiction readers out there, what is your favorite book of all time?

Ooouu non-fiction books this is quite an interesting genre. My favorite is a recent one I read Hegemony or Survival by Noam Chomsky. Also Blink by Malcom Gladwell my uncle gave me that book for my birthday a couple years ago it was pretty good.

Well, I mean true things are good but sometimes you might be missing out on the great fiction stories. I wouldn't put my trend into one thing, try to be opened to everything as most fiction books are also based on real life experiences. Anyway, happy mylotting.

I have spent a lot of time reading non fiction books. Self-help books mainly, and spirituality books. There's a lot of weird stuff. And I am glad that I am not doing that much anymore! It is confusing! But I am reading a little bit. Every now and then. I am not so serious about it. There is a Dummies guide to Spirituality that I am looking at. I can't remember a favorite book. Dream dictionaries are OK.

Hi. I seldom read non-fiction books except for self-help types of books. But so far, I like the Chinese Cinderella by Adeline Yen Mah. It was about the plights and successes of an unwanted Chinese daughter. I bought the book out of curiosity. I just wanted to know the difference between the story of Chinese Cinderella and the regular Cinderella story I've known as a kid. I was surprised to know that I was actually reading a non-fiction story.
I like this book because it resembles my favorite quote which is:
"See yourself not as a person who has problems, but as a person who creates value out of difficult situation. See the challenges and limitations not as permanent parts of you, but as stepping stones on the path to fulfillment of your greatest dreams."
