To be honest, it's a really crappy list, because most of them focus on some kind of historical/documentary-like drama and/or injustice. Also, most of them cover topics and history from the US.
These books might be fine (I just skimmed the descriptions and I haven't read them) but this definitely doesn't look like the best NONFICTION books.

- tasubotadas 7y agoNon-fiction has a lot more to offer than drama.
- happytoexplain 7y agoOh, sorry - I agree. But it sounds more like you're criticising the title of the list.
- soniman 7y agoMany of these are memoirs, the books by Eggers, Finnegan and Carr, for instance. I don't really think of a memoir as non-fiction because it's from a first-person perspective. It would be better to separate out the memoirs from the rest of non-fiction, and also separate out the biographies, which are also basically memoirs.
- arrakeen 7y agoyou seem to have a bone to pick with this list despite admitting to having never read any of them. perhaps they are the best nonfiction but you wouldn't know. what, then, do you think are the best nonfiction books of the last 25 years?
