Musing Mondays (Oct.11)
This week’s musing asks…
What types of nonfiction do you read? Can do multiple choices.
CHOICES:
- e-books
- Mythology/Folklore
- Travel/Locations
- Humor
- History
- Art, including art history
- Science including forensics
- Gardening/Nature
- Political
- Financial/Economical
- Religious
- Self-help
- How-to books
- Books on writing
- Audio books
- Biography
- Autobiography
- Sports
- Architecture
- Fitness/Exercise/Nutrition/Beauty
- Other
- None of the Above
I read a lot of nonfiction, so I’d have to say I choose from the following: Religious | Self-Help | How-To | Books on Writing | Health & Fitness.
I also like memoirs if they deal with weight loss, pregnancy, or writing.
PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT with either the link to your own Musing Mondays post, or share your answer in a comment here (if you don’t have a blog). Thanks! 
I read a lot of travel (Vintage Departures) and also science. Richard Dawkins, Stephen Jay Gould kind of thing. I loved 1491 but don’t usually read history. I read books on books such as Nicholas Basbanes. Frances

An interesting question, one that reminded me that I should read more non-fiction. http://danicapage.blogspot.com/2011/10/musing-mondays-3.html
Will be going through and checking out your posts. Can’t wait to see what you guys are reading.

I read non-fiction categories that are related to fiction and literature. My full answer is posted.
I love your choices! Most of mine are the same, but I can never read Self-Help books. I always go into a funny state of denial XD

Here’s my Musing I’m so more fiction than nonfiction
Great Question! This helped me think about what I really enjoy reading!! http://bookishlybloggers.blogspot.com/2011/10/musing-mondays-1010.html

I love reading history . . . the most memorable history book I’ve read recently is Empire of the Summer Moon, by S. C. Gwynne; it’s about the Comanche Indians and is one of those wonderful history books that reads in many ways like a novel.
Another great non-fic book I highly recommend is The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook. Anyone who has any sort of muscle or joint pain should pick up a copy IMO — I thought my fingers were getting arthritic, for instance, so imagine my astonishment when massaging some painful points in my forearms completely “cured” the stiffness and pain in my fingers . . .

I read a lot of different kinds of non-fiction, too! Mostly anthropology, since that’s my major, haha, and I have to read books for classes. I’m interested in a wide variety of topics, though, and my bookshelves reflect that.
I don’t really read much politics, though, and I’m not really into sports.
Check out my teaser from Half Blood
(YA BOOK THAT ROCKS!)
