Hi everyone. I'm rincey and this is rincey reads. Today i'm going to be doing
the nonfiction November 2017 tag. This tag was created by Maria at read create
homeschool. No, read create repeat homeschool. I will have a link to
her channel down below. I was also tagged by her. I figured this would be a good way
to sort of finish out nonfiction November this year and I really like the
questions. It gives me a chance to talk about some non-fiction books that I
don't normally get to talk about very often. This is also a chance to sort of
encourage you guys to read more nonfiction if you aren't already. Alright,
so the first question is: nonfiction November is a great time to meet other
nonfiction lovers. Give some shout out love to one of your favorite nonfiction booktubers.
So obviously Maria would be one of them.
She's one who is relatively new to the community. She has a relatively smaller
channel but I've really enjoyed watching her videos recently. Also Vanessa over at
split reads is another one who reads a lot of nonfiction who I would definitely
recommend. Obviously olive from abookolive and Gemma from nonficbooks who hosts
nonfiction November are really great ones to check out. I will have links to
all of their channels down below. Vanessa mentioned this in her tag video but
basically a lot of people who talk about nonfiction tend to not have quite as
many subscribers and so it's harder to find them. So like nonfiction November is
sort of like when they get to shine a little bit. So yeah, there's a lot of
really great people who read nonfiction on a regular basis and those are just a
handful. So I will have links to all of their channels down in the description.
If you haven't checked them out already, I highly recommend it.
Question number two is why do you read nonfiction. And the main reason I feel
like is kind of just the reason I read in general. It's just, I'm curious. I want
to learn about the world around me. I want to learn about the people around me.
And I feel like nonfiction is just one of the many ways that you can do that.
Since I was like a little kid I've enjoyed reading nonfiction. I was a kid who
enjoyed like reading the encyclopedia. And even to this day I enjoy really
reading Wikipedia. Nonfiction books sort of tie into that as well. I just like
learning because I'm a giant nerd and I think learning is fun. So. Alright and
then the next set of questions are all based on the four main topics that olive
and Gemma put together for nonfiction November. So the first set is questons
related to home. So where in your home do you like to read the most? I recently got
a chair from Ikea. If you follow me on Instagram you would have seen it.
And it's amazing and perfect and so comfortable for reading. It's the Strandmon.
Probably mispronouncing that. If you have access to an Ikea, I highly
recommend this chair because it's so comfortable. The back two legs are
shorter than the front two legs so it like leans back a little bit. So when you
sit in it you like fall back into it and it's like deep enough that I can like
put my feet up but I also got the matching Ottoman to go with it so I can
put my feet up on there. It's so comfortable. I can honestly sit in there
for like hours at a time and read. The next question is to give a
recommendation of a non-fiction book based in your home country. And I'm going
to do it a little bit more specific than that because my country is the United
States and I have way too many books I could recommend for this one. So I
narrowed it down to books set in Chicago. And obviously I'm gonna recommend the
Devil in the White City by Erik Larson. If you haven't read this yet, highly
recommend it. I think this is also a really great entry point for people if
you don't typically read nonfiction books. This book takes place in Chicago
and you follow basically two different story lines. The first one is about the
World's Fair that was held here in Chicago. And then the second story line
is about the serial killer who lived in Chicago who used the World's Fair to
basically kill more people. So it's really, really fascinating. I personally
found the serial killer stuff to be more interesting than the world's fair
stuff. But I think that this is just a really great sort of entry point to
nonfiction because there is this sort of like thrilling element to it that keeps
you gripped and you want to know what's gonna happen in this storyline. And then
the next question is what book on your nonfiction November TBR related to home
are you most excited about reading? And she has one of these for each of the
subjects. And so I didn't pick that many books related to each topic. So the one
I'm going to mention for this one is Washington by Ron Chernow, which I am
currently reading. It relates to home because you know the United States.
Really enjoying this so far and I am very excited to be reading it because
I've enjoyed Ron Chernow's biographies in the past. And I had actually tried to
read this one a couple of years ago, I think back in 2015, and I got it from the
library and I just ran out of time. So now I have it and I'm taking my time
with it and I'm really enjoying reading through this biography.
Alright so the next set of nonfiction books all relate to love and the first
one is, what do you love to read the most in the nonfiction field? And there
are a couple of different topics that I really enjoy reading about. The first one
is U.S. history. If you couldn't tell by the non-fiction books that I tend to
pick, I really love reading U.S. history. I really like reading biographies of
important people in U.S. history. But I also really like reading stuff about the
brain specifically. I enjoy like science nonfiction that sort of like pared down
and made more readable and accessible to people because I find science to be
really interesting. But I really enjoy stuff that's about the human body and
the brain specifically. So yeah, anytime I find a good non-fiction book about the
brain, I get really, really excited. Next is give a nonfiction recommendation
related to the challenge word love. Okay this one was a little bit difficult for
me because I feel like I don't read a lot of things related to love or on the
subject of love. So the one I'm going to recommend is the know-it-all
by AJ Jacobs. The subtitle to this is one man's humble quest to become the
smartest person in the world. And basically what AJ Jacobs does is he
makes it a goal to read in its entirety the entire Encyclopedia Britannica from
like A to Z. And so the reason why I picked this is because, like I mentioned
earlier, as a kid I enjoyed reading the encyclopedia. And so I really loved this
book for that fact and seeing AJ Jacobs experience of like reading it straight
through, I never did that as a kid I would just sort of like pick and choose
random topics to read about. So yeah, I love the encyclopedia so we're gonna go
with this one as my recommendation. And then the last question in this section
is what love related non-fiction book are you excited to read this November?
The one that I picked for my TBR was hunger by Roxane Gay. This book was
fantastic. I already read it and did a full review on it. I will link it up
above. But yeah, this is so great and was probably my most anticipated book in
terms of my entire TBR. Alright the next set of questions is related to substance
and the first one is nonfiction is a great way to introduce us to people that
inspires to be better. Name a person of substance you have loved reading more
about. So for me this is pretty easy. It is Eleanor Roosevelt. I find her to be
completely fascinating and inspiring and just a great human being
to read about. Blanche Wiesen Cook has done this sort of set of biographies on
her. And so this is volume one, I have volume two, and volume three just came
out in 2016. The paperback was just released like a couple of weeks ago. So I
have had on my list to pick up before the years out. And I'm very excited to
read it. Like literally it's my most anticipated 2017 if I'm being completely
honest because I've been waiting since like 2009 I think to read the third
volume because she takes like a decade between each volume. But this third and
final, is gonna be the final volume because it's like the last half of her
life 'til her death. I highly recommend reading about Eleanor Roosevelt.
You don't necessarily have to read this three volume set like I did because I
understand that that might be a little bit too much for some people. But yeah,
Eleanor Roosevelt, great woman, great person to read about. Next question is
what book would you recommend to people that has a lot of substance to it. So for
this one I'm going to recommend the Warmth of Other Suns by Isabel Wilkerson.
The subtitle to this is the epic story of America's great migration. So what this
book does is explores this period of U.S. history from 1915 till about like the
1970s where there was this migration of African Americans in the United States
who moved from the south to like northern and western cities, specifically
like New York, Detroit, Chicago, LA, etc. And what Isabel Wilkerson does is she
explores sort of like the history of that because it isn't something that's
really taught or talked about in history books. Although I feel like since this
book has been written it's been brought up a lot more. But you can see like very
clear direct lines of like people who live in these specific northern cities
like you can tell that they came from specific cities in the south because of
like the way the train lines worked. And she talked about like I think it's three
specific families in this book. And so she follows their histories and uses
them as like examples of what was happening in the United States as a
whole. Yeah, this book is quite thick and there's a lot of information in here but
it's really, really fantastic. I recommend this book a lot but I also recommend
taking your time with it because again there's a lot of substance in here.
And it's not one you can just rush through. I think it took me about like a month to
read this book just because again there's so much information, there's so
many facts. So take your time with it, go slow, absorb
all the information. But it's a really, really great book. All right and then the
final question in this section is what book related to substance are you most
excited about on your nonfiction TBR. And again for me that's gonna be Hunger by
Roxane Gay. I doubled up on that challenge. This is the one I'm most excited about.
I also had the cooking gene on my TBR but honestly I was more excited about hunger
than I was the cooking gene. But both of those would work. All right and then the
final set of questions are related to scholarship. So the first one is
nonfiction can teach us a lot. What subjects and topics have you really
learned about because of your reading? Obviously the two big ones are U.S.
history and the brain because those are the things I seem to gravitate towards
the most. Which book would you recommend that would teach somebody something well?
All right if you like any of the books I mentioned before would work. But the one
I'm gonna recommend is the emperor of all maladies by Siddhartha Mukherjee.
This one is subtitled a biography of cancer. And so I feel like this is a
great book to read just in general but it's also a great book that provides you
a history of cancer and the way that we've learned about cancer, study cancer,
the way that we are working to treat cancer. I believe that they've released
like an updated version with at least another chapter about how things have
gone so far. But don't quote me on that. But yeah this book is completely
readable and a really great deep dive into cancer specifically. So. And even
though it sounds like that would be like really depressing or really awkward to
read about, Siddhartha Mukherjee does a really, really great job turning these
science heavy stories into something the average person could read about.
Siddhartha Mukherjee also has a new book out about called the gene which is all
about like human genes or human genomes. And that one would also be a really
great one to pick up if you want to learn about that topic. Alright and then
the final question is what book related to scholarship are you most excited
about reading for this non-fiction November. It's Washington by Ron Chernow.
This is my scholarship related book. Again, I'm super excited about this. I also
recently picked up the John Adams book by David McCullough and I'm super
excited about that one even though I'm not reading it for nonfiction November.
It will be read soon and I'm very excited about that. So yeah, alright so
that is the nonfiction November tag. I'm not going to take anyone because I'm
just not sure who wants to do this tag. But if you are interested in it,
even if November is almost over, you're still welcome to do it. So yeah,
feel free to leave a comment down below letting me know if you have any
questions about any of the books that I talked about or you want me to sort of
like expand on any of the books that I talked about here in this video. So yeah,
that's all I have for now and thanks for watching.
