The last book I read was Beast, by Ally Kennen.
The back of the book said it was gonna be such an exciting story, I would read it in one go.
They lied. The ending was even worse.
Right after I finished it I've sworn to never read a book again, and to this day I still haven't.
Just felt like mentioning that.

What type of subject do you like?
Into the wild is a good book.
| Quote: | In April 1992 a young man from a well-to-do family hitchhiked to Alaska and walked alone into the wilderness north of Mt. McKinley. His name was Christopher Johnson McCandless. He had given $25,000 in savings to charity, abandoned his car and most of his possessions, burned all the cash in his wallet, and invented a new life for himself. Four months later, his decomposed body was found by a moose hunter. How McCandless came to die is the unforgettable story of Into the Wild.

i don't read a lot so I can't really name a subject in particular I'd like to see in a book. I just need a non-fiction book to read for english over the summer. I have to write a paper on it when I get back. I could obviously bs it, but I'd rather actually try to read a good book for once
into the wild sounds good though, might check it out if nothing better comes up

| I know you said non-fiction. But Name of the Wind by Patrick Rofthuss. Seriously one of the greatest books I have ever read.

Einstein: His Life and Universe, if you're willing to read about 600 pages.
They poured Fire on us from the sky is pretty good too. Depends on what type you like. Non-fictions are usually interesting as opposed to thrilling.

From what friend told me, Fast Food Nation is pretty interesting.
And I'm reading Lies My Teacher Told Me this summer.
