The non-fiction in this group is hard to find. If you are as committed to non-fiction as I am, please post it in this thread. I will add to the thread with Robert MacFarland’s Underland.

Just finished God is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything by Christopher Hitchens. It was a great read. I would highly recommend it.

I've just finished this book and I cannot begin to describe the amount of respect and admiration I have for the author, Ayaan Hirsi Ali. "Infidel" is an autobiography, and a testament of how resillient and a strong a woman can be. I have always ...

Review of the book: "Short History of Atheism", by Gavin Hyman The author is a theologian and this book is intended for theologians only. Whoever expects a "short history of atheism" - like me - will be disappointed. The core ...

I'm currently reading "The Power Worshippers" by Katherine Stewart. Is anyone else reading this? Seems like a great non-fiction book to discuss here with its meaty contents. I'm only a few hours into it, but I've just got to share that this book ...

You may be aware that large bookstores have separate sections these days for 'young adult' readers. It's a newish marketing thing. Now I'm not knocking it outright. In fact I just finished "The Hate You Give' by Angie Thomas, a YA book and very...

One down, four more to go. The cover was brand new few weeks ago !!! Great read after watching carefully the DVDs. It helps to create new scenes in my mind based on the actual characters for tons of details left out by HBO series

I recently managed to get hold of a book I read many years ago, and was more than a little shocked by it. I have for many years been a fan of British horror writer Graham Masterton and have collected almost all of his books bar one. In 1980 under the...
