1. Read 5 non-fiction books during the months of May - September, 2010 (please link your reviews on Mister Linky each month; Mister Linky can be found at the beginning of each month on this blog)
2. Read at least one non-fiction book that is different from your other choices (i.e.: 4 memoirs and 1 self-help)
Head on over to Trish's Reading Nook and sign-up now!
That's right ladies and gentlemen, yet another challenge. The big question is how will I be able to wait for May? Some possibilities:
- Forbidden Fruit: Love Stories from the Underground Railroad by Betty DeRamus
- Forbidden Knowledge: From Prometheus to Pornography by Roger Shattuck
- When They Severed Earth from Sky by the Barbers
- The Bible Unearthed by Israel Finkelstein
and really this list could go on and on and on. I have so many unread non-fiction books on my TBR shelves that it's a bit sad.
What I Read:
- 101 Things I Learned in Film School by Neil Landau and Matthew Frederic
- Badass by Ben Thompson
- Trickster by Matt Dembicki
- Film Club by David Gilmour
- Denial: A Memoir of Terror by Jessica Stern
- Fun Home by Alison Bechdel
- Manhood for Amateurs by Michael Chabon

I've got a whole bunch I want to read, too!
These look fascinating.
Cool challenge ! Might have to do the same ! By the way, Shattuck's book was great, although it could use an updating. Finkeltein's was terrific as well !!!
Amanda - I think it should be more like the non-fiction 50. :)
Stephanie - I tried to pick the ones that most interested me, but we'll see if they are the same ones that jump out during the contest!
maphead - It's great to hear you say that. It's not often I run across people who have read books like Shattuck's and Finkelstein's!
