Need Non-Fiction? Books to Try!


Hi everyone - Sarah, here!

Not everyone who comes to the beach wants to loose themselves in the latest Janet Evanovich or Tom Clancy paperback. Many (like me!) are more inclined to delve into a biography, true-life adventure, or weird science story.

Here are just a few to consider (in no particular order)!

  1. A Short History of Nearly Everything (Bill Bryson)
  2. Salt: A World History (Mark Kurlansky)
  3. And a Bottle of Rum: A History of the New World in Ten Cocktails (Wayne Curtis)
  4. Team of Rivals (Doris Kearns Goodwin)
  5. Marie Antoinette (Antonia Fraser)
  6. Mayflower (Nathaniel Philbrick)
  7. The Hungry Ocean: A Swordboat Captain's Journey (Linda Greenlaw)
  8. Hatteras Blues: A Story from the Edge of America (Tom Carlson)
  9. The Audacity of Hope (Barak Obama)
  10. One Soldier's Story: A Memoir (Bob Dole)
  11. Flags of Our Fathers (James Bradley/Ron Powers)
  12. Rammer Jammer Yellow Hammer: A Trip Into the Heart of Fan Mania (Warren St. John)
  13. Pirate Hunter: The True Story of Captain Kidd (Richard Zacks)
  14. Running with Scissors (Augusten Burroughs)
  15. Marley & Me (John Grogan)
  16. Into Thin Air (Jon Krakauer)
  17. Gates of Fire: An Epic Novel of the Battel of Thermopylae (Steven Pressfield)
  18. How the Irish Saved Civilization (Thomas Cahill)
  19. Helter Skelter (Vincent Bugliosi)
  20. The Secret (Rhonda Byrne)
