I don’t plan on reading any more non-fiction titles this year either, so here’s how I would rank the measly 7! titles I read. Wild Swans also made my Best of 2007 list, and it was easily the best of the bunch. I don’t know if I should increase my non-fiction reading percentage next year or not. If I do, it will probably still be no more than 10% (as opposed to 6-7%) of my reading.
1. Wild Swans ****1/2 by Jung Chang (Best of 2007) (2007 Best Non-Fiction)
2. The Bookseller of Kabul **** by Seierstad (2007 Best Non-Fiction)
3. A Severe Mercy **** by Sheldon Vanauken
4. The Travels of Marco Polo **** by Marco Polo
