If this is a best non-fiction list, why is "Killer Angels: A NOVEL of the Civil War," winner of the 1975 Pulitzer Prize for FICTION, included??? Just curious.

You have to be a librarian to remove books, though anyone can remove their own vote for one.

Any other fiction lurking in there I didn't spot?

IN COLD BLOOD is what its author called a "non-fiction" novel. Similarly, Jeff Shaara's Rise to Rebellion, although told in narrative form is as close to non-fiction as he could make it while maintaining the narrative thread. Maybe we should have a separate list ?

Hi everyone,

I have created a new group called Goodreads All Sorts and I'd love for people to join it or just even just give it a look. It's a group that discusses anything and everything. There will be monthly group reads, movies, and music. There is a folder for everything you could think of. I'd really like if people could spread the word because I'd love for the group to be a success. Here is the link to the group:

Thanks very much,
Jack :-)

What about the two books of Khaled Hosseini? "The kite runner" and "One thousand splendid suns" are novels!
And where are the interesting books? I don't think that self-help best-sellers can be a canon of human thought, do you?
Not a single historian worth of the name... no philosophers... only a book ABOUT Chomsky... ???

I voted for Bertrand Russell's A History of Western Philosophy... Must have been added then after you added your message.

Someone must have deleted the two novels by Khaled Hosseini, as they don't seem to be there anymore.
