I am mainly interested in reading non-fiction than fiction books. I feel like I waste my time not reading something informative, even though I do read fiction lol.
Comment your favorite non-fiction book you read this year, textbook, book, does not matter.

Maybe not my “favorite”, but I’m in my second year of law school and I’ve been reading a ton of constitutional law for criminal procedure class, and those have been super interesting.
I just finished Entangled Life: How Fungi Make Our Worlds, Change Our Minds & Shape Our Futures by Merlin Sheldrake and it was absolutely fascinating.
I’ve only read two and they were The Wager and Killers of the Flower Moon. I liked Killers more, personally.
*Breaking Free* by Rachel Jeffs (memoir by ex-FLDS member) was super fascinating!
If historical fiction is okay, *Pachinko* by Min Jin Lee was actually my favorite book overall. It’s about the Japanese occupation of Korea and supposedly super accurate. It covers one family over several generations.
_How the World Really Works_ by Vaclav Smil.
Read it in the recommendations from Bill Gates in Gates Notes.
This is a book that stands true to its name.
PS: Not completed yet. It’s a really information heavy book. Taking my time to go chapter by chapter.
*Midnight in Chernobyl* by Adam Higginbotham absolutely gripped me. Fascinating and very understandable explanation of what happened.
*How to Stand Up to a Dictator* by Maria Ressa also made a very strong impression on me.
The actual first one that jumped to mind is, as far as I can see, only available in German: *Erzählende Affen* by Samira El Ouassil and Friedemann Karig.
