The Best of Everything Nonfiction for 2009

Here is my list of the very best books, films, and documentaries that I’ve seen or read this past year. Only books or films that got a four star rating or higher made the list. Anything getting a five star rating is indicated with an asterisk. The items in this list do not necessarily have to have been released in 2009.

Review of Flash of Genius

I can see the problems the marketing people had with this film. Who wants to see a film about the guy who invented the intermittent windshield wiper? But this film is every bit as interesting as two of last year’s best picture nominations: Frost/Nixon and Milk.
