Unbroken: best nonfiction I’ve read this year

This book proves to me that publishers and bookstores have it all wrong. They want to pigeon-whole every book into a genre. This book is categorized as a military history book. Okay, so it is. But how about simply calling it nonfiction. How about calling it a true story. Laura’s previous book was Seabiscuit, another great book.

New home and look for Everything Nonfiction

I recently made the switch to Wordpress for my Blogging platform. As much as I liked Typepad, WordPress has much more flexibility. If you’re reading this in a feed, here’s a peak at the new look:
