Such the good litle reader.
Try the biography of Katherine Anne Porter. Wonderful non-fiction. It really rivals her fictional pieces. What a life she had. And maybe find a book that gives synopsis of American writers. A very interesting bunch. I'm talking the classic ones.
Maya Angelou's auto-biography is interesting.
I loved Dan Rathers book about the Greatest Generation.
If American History grabs you look for books about the 20th Century discoveries. More was done in those 100 years then in the rest of human time.
Also any books on things like "The Great Depression" or the organization of Unions or The Macarthy years. The rise of Hitler is very important.
Not all of the subjects are fun but they are lessons in how things can happen if people let them.
Anyhow, there are so many. I am sure I will find even more to recommend.
Tim Russet was a great writer. Check his stuff out.
I always studied sub and counter cultures too. Very interesting how different groups and sects live within the general population.
Like in Northeast Minneapolis where the Catholic Churches still give Mass in the Polish language or Spanish or Latin and people understand what the Priest is saying.
or:
The Mormans, the Mennonites, the Huterites, different communal living sects, Newagers, Military families, the Quakers and survivalist groups...and on and on.
thoughts?

Lovely ideas. I shall add them to the list...
Right now I'm reading a book called "The Myth of Happiness". A great book on cultivating real joy by surrendering to God's will for my life.
