Armchair BEA- Non-Fiction

Design credit: Sarah of Puss Reboots

When it comes to Non-Fiction I actually do tend to read quite a bit of it. Since I was a young child I've read dozens of books focusing on plagues and zoonotic diseases. I find the subject matter fascinating and of course anyone who knows me can see the direct correlation between those and my love of Zombies as well. Some of my  favorites include:

One of my all time favorite Non-Fiction books on the subject is called The Hot Zone. If you've never read it you're missing out. The book is an eye opening account of what could happen if a deadly virus escaped amongst the populace. Think Stephen King's The Stand or Robin Cook's Outbreak except you know this time it is real.

In the same vein as books about diseases and plagues I  also tend to gravitate toward Non-Fiction books based on Disasters. Although don't you dare try to put Alive in this list. I loathe that book with a fiery vengeance. Being forced to read it over and over each year for school does that to a person *eye twitch*. Some of my favorites include:

I also love books like Carl Sagan's Cosmos. After watching the series on Netflix last year I knew I had to read the book. It is filled with gorgeous illustrations and surprisingly easy to understand.

Lastly, I have to mention Non-Fiction based on people. Which is probably what most readers think of when they see Non-Fiction. I don't tend to read these as much as the subjects above but I do still find some enjoyable so figured I'd mention them. Some of my favorites include:

These are just some of the books I have littering my non fiction shelves. I actually didn't realize how many I had until I went through and checked. I even found some I forgot I had purchased. Yay, new books to read!!

Do you read Non-Fiction? If so, Do you have a favorite book?
