Reply to comment by Gonzostewie in I have a question for you nonfiction readers... why do you read nonfiction? by Bilbobaginses1

Biographies didn't even cross my mind!

I suppose I was really thinking of nonfiction as textbooks of history and science but biographies are also something to consider when talking about nonfiction

also thanks a lot for taking the time to comment

Quick recommendation: One of the more interesting non-fiction books I've read is called The Brenner Assignment. It touches on the fledgling CIA (OSS) during WWII. It specifically deals with one particular mission in northern Italy. An American was dropped into the Italian Alps to set up a partisan resistance of sabotage and subterfuge. It was a wild story.
