Non-Fiction Favorites
As you can see, I don't read as much non-fiction as I do fiction. There was a time in my life that I never read fiction. Things change...

A few years back I read MacArthur's Undercover War. It was about spies and sabotage in the Pacific prior to and during WWII. It was such an interesting book. If it had been fiction I would have thought the author was ridiculously giving the "good guys" an unbelievable upper hand.
I'm glad to see I've read a couple on your list. I don't feel so shallow. I really liked Ben Franklin's biography by Isaacs (I think) and I've read several about Theodore Roosevelt. He is a fascinating person although some of the letters he wrote to his mother when he first went to college were weird. Still, this is a man who overcame his physical limitations and really lived life to the fullest.
That's a great list. The Sarah Ban Breathnach book (Simple Abundance) has been a favorite of mine for years and for a while I gave copies of it away as birthday or bonvoyage gifts because I felt that every woman needed to own a copy. The book has had a very powerful impact on my life.
Yes, things change. There was a time when I never read Non Fiction, now it's the opposite.
