What's the last work of non-fiction that you read?

How often do you read non-fiction? Can it keep your attention? Do you primarily read non-fiction?

As much as I enjoy literature (it is my major after all), I also read plenty of non-fiction, mostly in history, art, literary criticism, and philosophy.

The last work I read was Richard Hofstadter's Anti-Intellectualism in American Life. Written in 1964 but surprisingly relevant to the current day.

Nonfiction, hmmmmmm. I think it was "Tuesdays with Morrie", does that count? I could be wrong, I think it's been a long time since I read nonfiction

@SW-User I don't usually appreciate memoirs but that one was a good one.

It was either that or A Lover's Discourse by R. Barthes. Which was heartbreaking in the most... simplistic, realistic way

@SW-User A Lover's Discourse is wonderful. Had to read it for one of my courses, but that is one I will be reading again.
