Suggest me a book that can be read in a day and is nonfiction
I am trying to read more and the momentum that I get with short books is unmatched. I am currently reading man’s search for meaning and it is riveting.
Animal writer par excellence Sy Montgomery has two novella length short books pulled out of a larger work on birds.
Hummingbird’s Gift
Hawk’s Way
Some of her other books are quite short as well.
