Recommend me some non fiction if these are some of my favourites?

[EineReiseDurchDieZeit]

I am particularly looking for something that works as audio

So I liked

Bad Blood by John Carreyou
Say Nothing and London Falling by Patrick Radden Keefe
The Only Plane In The Sky by Garrett Graff
A Woman Of No Importance by Sonia Purnell
Mrs. Jordan’s Profession by Clare Tomalin
Letters Between Six Sisters ed. Charlotte Mosley

among others!

A Libertarian Walks into a Bear

@ChickensAndEggs you are correct - Into Thin Air.

I was confusing it with Touching the Void! Which I haven’t read 🙂

The OP mentions London Falling - I inhaled that book this weekend - so good and will now seek out other books by the author

True! Not sure why I thought differently. It's been a while since a read it 😊I wanted to add Lesson in chemistry, which is fiction but doesn't feel like fiction.

@Figurinea - the dog has a full vocabulary. How does that not feel like fiction?

Dammit @EineReiseDurchDieZeit now I’ve added more to my wishlist and I’m trying to RWYO 🤣 Screenshotting many ideas here.

I’ve enjoyed

A Very English Scandal - John Preston
Endurance - Alfred Lansing
The Looming Tower - Lawrence Wright

in my “to listen” pile

The Lives & Deaths of the Princesses on Hesse - Frances Welch
London Falling - Patrick Radden Keefe (I haven’t read “Say Nothing” but enjoyed the tv adaptation)

I’ve added American Kingpin, Tunnel 29 & Henrietta Lacks on the basis of this thread

Do you like underwater exploration? Susan Casey’s The Underworld is brilliant . I enjoyed Chris Bonningtons Ascent too

Thought of a couple of others, @EineReiseDurchDieZeit - this might be a bit 'Londony' for your taste but Diamond Street: The Hidden World of Hatton Garden by Rachel Lichtenstein is really fascinating on an area that has a long and varied history.

Definitely second House of Glass and Nomadland, which are great. And have you read The Ratline?

Noted

I have read House Of Glass, Nomadland and The Ratline

I like a bit of London*

Debs at war Anne de courcy
georgiana Duchess of Devonshire Antonia Fraser

Two I recently bought but haven’t read yet:

The Plague Evelyn Lord
Munich David Pearce about the Busby babes air disaster

Also London the biography Peter ackroyd

If you like London-related non-fiction, have you read Oliver Bullough's Moneyland? Or Butler to the World?

Also This is London by Ben Judah?

And in more general non-fiction, how about any of the works of Rose George, eg Deep Sea and Foreign Going, about the shipping industry.

Have you read anything by Barbara Ehrenreich? Smile or Die, Global Woman, Nickel and Dimed, Living with a Wild God etc.

Disclaimer: I don't do audiobooks, so I have no idea if any of these are any good in that format.

Currently reading Motherland - A Feminist History of Modern Russia by Julia Ioffe and loving it. Fascinating and easy to read. Also Someone Else's Music - Opera and the British by Alexandra Wilson - because I love opera

Read the Fraser. Debs At War is a shout

@exexpatSome good ideas there

Thanks @Littlecrake

I’ve got Sophy Roberts on TBR. I’ve read both the others

☺️

Thanks @TattiePants

My apologies if I’ve failed to reply to everyone - thanks so much

And in more general non-fiction, how about any of the works of Rose George, eg Deep Sea and Foreign Going, about the shipping industry

yyy to the wonderful Rose George. Also her Nine Pints, about blood (not really a gory read but full of astounding facts) and The Big Necessity, which is surely the best book about sanitation ever written! I wish she’d hurry up and write something else <if you’re on here, Rose….😉>

Great ideas I loved a Woman of no importance about the expedionary service in world war 2

Great minds but I listed it in the OP
