Todd's 325 Favorite Non-Fiction Books

This was easier than I thought. I've read more novels, but I've liked fewer of them. Not all of these books are about happy (or even remotely happy) topics, but I very much like the feeling of being informed about something, especially the kinds of things that are often kept from us in school. Informed reading, everyone! PS: They're alpha by author.
