As always, Top Ten Tuesday meme is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. This week's topic is:Top Ten Favorite Books of 2017.
I'm twisting this topic a little bit to best nonfiction I read this year because I don't review enough of it…and these lists are only way to give out some recognition to these great authors.
I still have to finish Hunger:A Me­moir of (My) Body, but so far it's really good!
It's pretty unique but it takes time :) audio version was great!
So many of these books are on my TBR. I read a few passages of "Bad Feminist" and I highly enjoyed them. I hope I can get to the book at the beginning of January.
What a great list! I'd love to read so many of these!
I also read Bad Feminist this year, and hope to pick up Hunger soon. Roxane Gay is phenomenal. Have you read her novel Untamed State?
She's just amazing! No I haven't, what did you like about it the most?
The story itself is pretty harrowing, but Roxane addresses a difficult subject with such bravery and strength. Her prose is simply exquisite too.
Oh God, this list is fabulous. You definitely read some very powerful books this year! I am super interested in Fast Food Nation because I'm really into health, etc. Great list!
Thank you :) Indeed powerful and most broke my heart. Fast Food Nation is somewhat old but still has a lot of facts that I believe still apply this day. The food industry is wicked.
Ooh nice list. I think Voices from Chernobyl would be a fascinating read, same with Guns, Germs and Steel. And of course fast Food Nation.
I like your take on this week's topic! Here is our Top Ten Tuesday.
Some of these books look fascinating! I'm intrigued.
I haven't read any of the books on your list this week. Some of them will be added to my ever growing reading wishlist.
I haven't read any of these but I didn't realize that Murakami had written a non-fiction. I haven't read an of his other books either though.
Murakami has written 2 nonfiction books at least, both are really good :) I liked his What I Talk About When I Talk About Running.
I didn't pick up nearly enough nonfiction last year! Maybe I'll do better this year. I'm starting off with a biography on Napoleon, so I guess that counts for something!
He certainly was. I'm loving this biography so far. It's especially interesting, because although I didn't read much nonfiction last year, I did devour a lengthy biography of George Washington. It's interesting to see what qualities the two men had in common.
