Restrictions (from Booking Through Thursday)
God* comes to you and tells you that, from this day forward, you may only read ONE type of book–one genre–period, but you get to choose what it is. Classics, Science-Fiction, Mystery, Romance, Cookbooks, History, Business … you can choose, but you only get ONE.
What genre do you pick, and why?
*Whether you believe in God or not, pretend for the purposes of this discussion that He is real.
I love non-fiction books of the popular science/history genre. I love Malcolm Gladwell and Mary Roach, for instance. I have Mark Kurlansky, Sam Kean, and Erik Larson, among many, on my TBR. I have books about the history of food, neuroscience, psychology, and science in general on my TBR. GoodReads has a list of "microhistories" of which I have read 5 already and have 14 on my TBR. These are the types of books I gravitate to in general so if I was limited to just one genre it would be this one. However, I would prefer to limit it to non-fiction in general.
Read on,
Paula
