What are some good non-fiction books to read? I feel like I've been neglecting them.

>>	Standard Toaster !TOAST5/GiQ Fri Dec 7 01:50:20 2012 No.3219611 That's such a massive genre that you're just going to get yelled at. Narrow it down some. What fields of non-fiction are you most interested in?

My mistake, this is the first time I have browsed /lit/ to be honest I figured it would be much friendlier than /fa/.

I guess i'm interested in books to do with music, esoteric art forms like punk poetry, Academic theories and sociopathy.

there was a book I read a while back which I cannot remember the title of for the life of me, but it had to do with our modern generations obsession with the past.

/lit/ is easily the least friendly board on 4chan
I personally don't know of any books like that, but maybe somebody will come along who does.
You might try looking here and see if there's anything that catches your eye.

Guns, Germs, and Steel. I liked it.
>>3219633
The Psychopath Test has some interesting ideas on sociopathy. If you like disorders and odd theories, I'd suggest Three Christs of Ypsilanti. Author did a study by collecting several schizophrenics who each thought they were Jesus and seeing how they reacted to each other.

Sorry, I started reading the unfolding of language and got distracted.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I really like the sound of both of these.
