100+ Nonfiction Books for Nonfiction November

I read a fair amount of nonfiction, but I have plenty of unread books on my shelves. Here is a list of those tbr books just in time for Nonfiction November. There is history, science, biography, nature, travel, essays, sociology, anthropology, politics, and books about books. Maybe not something for everyone but it's a mix.
