Reviewer Time: Why I read/review non-fiction

love my eReaders

I never used to enjoy non-fiction. This genre always felt like school work and the last thing I wanted to do out of school and school hours was anything school-like.

Even biographies seemed dull.

What changed?

I read an unauthorized biography on Led Zeppelin and giggled all the way through it. If even an eighth of what was written was true then…OMG!

You couldn’t write that stuff in fiction and be believed. It was hilarious. Granted other biographies were a tad boring after that, but really a whole new world of stories opened up for me.

I still haven’t read many biographies, but I’ve read life adventures. Periods of travels and experiences people have had. How to books and meditation and poetry.

For the most part I’ve found something to connect in each. Some have grabbed me as strongly as anything fictional…which I know reads strange, but you have to remember you’re talking to someone who’s a fiction reader first.

Here’s the links to both my non-fiction review sections:
