The Non-Fiction Book Meme

So, do you guys remember when there was a meme going around about how people don't read anymore, and there was a list of 100 classic books to see if you'd read them or not? (which was totally not the list that was actually in the article, but I digress) Well you see, I like to read nonfiction, and I was sad to see that there were NO nonfiction books on that list.

So I went looking for a list of top 100 nonfiction books...but there wasn't one. So I set out to make one of my own. And with the help of many of you on my flist, I have now put together a list that I think is pretty good. For the most part it's not filled with classics, it's filled with the recent popular. I tried to have a good mix of history, science, memoir and such. I could have probably made a list solely out of food related books. It's not perfect, but I'm still pretty pleased.

I'm going to write up another post with my answers, and I'd be as pleased as punch to see you all put this on your journal, and see what your answers are.

( I love to read nonfiction! )

Nonfiction Meme pt 2

....You know, for a list I made myself, I thought I would have read more books on it. I've only read 30 of the books on my own list! LOL. (And of course I'm already second guessing my list after spending months putting it together. Michael Pollan, how did you get on there twice?)

Ok, this is pretty much the best thing.

I've seen a forklift driver try to flip a lightswitch with the tines once....it didn't work.

The more trailers I see for 'Extract' the more it looks exactly like every plant I've worked in.

Oh please Mike Judge, please let this be the blue collar Office Space that it looks like.
