Sheryl McFarlane's News Blog: The Guardian's top non-fiction list
http://sheryl-mcfarlane.blogspot.com/2011/06/guardians-top-non-fiction-list.html
Tuesday, June 14, 2011. The Guardian's top non-fiction list. The Guardian posted their 100 top picks for non-fiction. Sadly, there were quite a few of the titles that I hadn't read, but then I do tend more toward fiction, so I suppose I can be forgiven. Here are a few that I read, although I confess that when it came to Hawkings' A Brief History of Time. It was more of a "tried to read" kind of thing. It makes me wonder if anyone has put a similar list together for kid's non-fiction? Follow me on twitter.
