Elanna's All-Time Favourite Non-Fiction - Page 2

This is quite a wild bunch, as I threw in here all the non-fiction books that I really truly loved. I am surprised myself of how visceral this love is, somehow more than my love for my favourite narrative books. Some of them are true masterpieces - Herzog, Feuerbach, and many more. Others, I am not sure I would love as much today - Bettelheim, Ruth Benedict are examples, what with his views on autism and corporal punishment and her army-embedded wartime anthropology. But they made me understand different points of view, opened new doors, made me who I am for what I am worth. Others still, came later and kept me marveling, thinking, questioning. I left out some technical titles on early childhood studies and I tried to limit the foreign language titles where I could find a translation, but some untranslated jewels in Italian needed to be here. I hope that my list will make you discover something new. Please feel free to comment, and thanks for reading.
