    My non fiction challenge is The Keys To Good Cooking by Harold McGee. It is a guide to making the best of foods and recipes! I'm am participating in a book tour on this book for Oct.27th. IT IS HUGE and as much as I've wanted to start reading it, I haven't yet! Here is my teaser post... http://cafescrapper-scrapsoflife.blogspot.com/2010/08/keys-to-good-cooking-by-harold-mcgee.html
    How do you add photos to your comments??

    My fourth book in the readathon was a non-fiction graphic/photographic book - "The Photographer" by Emmanuel Guibert. It was beautiful to look at and read. The book chronicled one photographer's trip into and out of Afghanistan in the 1980s.

    I have another non-fiction in my readathon pile ("The Devil's Details: A History of Footnotes" by Chuck Zerby). Sadly, as my eyelids are growing far too weary, I know I shant get to that one.

    Happy Reading to everyone!

    I'm going to put down my awesome novel and pick How I Write by Janet Evonovich back up. I think that's the only non-fiction book I have in my apartment that I can wrap my head around at this hour. Maybe I'm wrong, but something tells me that now is not the best time to read about the genius in all of us.

    And I'm following you with Google, name: SAO. Looking forward to reading your non-readathon posts!

    I've actually been reading non-fiction all night and will now be switching to something lighter for a few hours. My title, in honor of my championship team, has been "The Yankee Years" by Joe Torre and Tom Verducci. It's been delightful for this baseball-lovin' girl!

    I have three in nonfiction that I'm reading for readathon!

    1. In the President's Secret Service
    2. Robin Hood: the English Outlaw Unmasked
    3. Waiter Rant

    Actually, I just finished all three and I'm considering what to read next. Awesome idea to have a non-fiction element in the RaT. Thanks for hosting!

    the first three books that i read were fiction, but i've just moved over to the non-fiction book, Under the Paw by Tom Cox.

    once i finish this one, if i still have time, i plan to read Maus II, which is also non-fiction.

    i'm excited about this challenge! i just shifted the focus of my blog over to non-fiction, so this is just perfectly timed. :)

    Hey FakeSteph ... So Janey Evonovich wrote a NF on How I Write? How cool! Sounds like another book I need to pick up! 2 of my girls are interested in writing! I love some of her books btw.

    NO this isn't the hour to read books to make you smarter. I'm thinking I was pretty crazy to think I could concentrate on a NF book at this crazy hour!!!

    Great idea for a challenge.

    I am reading 'The Maeve Binchy Writer's Club'. As a writer I am finding it immensely humorous and helpful.

    I also have 'Wishful Thinking' by Carrie Fisher. This was a gift from my husband and more than likely, the next book I will read.

    Finally, I have 'Eat, Pray, Love.' This one was loaned to me by a friend. Not sure when I'll get to this one.

    I agree The Devil's Details sounds great.
    I'm from New Zealand, hence the question - a box of books would be horrendously expensive to post. But I'll take up the challenge because I'm bored with my current book anyway. I'm going to start The Weiser Field Guide to Cryptozoology by Deena West Budd.

    I've been working on two non-fiction books. I finished Fannie's Last Supper, which is a book about trying to recreate a 12-course Victorian dinner in the present day. It involved making gelatin out of hooves and frying brain balls. To continue the disgusting trend, I've also been reading Horsemen of the Esophagus, which is about competitive eating (which is a very, very strange world).

    My first book of the read a thon was I KNOW WHAT I AM BUT WHAT ARE YOU? by Samantha Bee - it is a memoir by the correspondent on the Daily Show. Essentially a series of humorous essays about events in her life. It was a fun way to kick-off the read a thon.

    Hiya! I've started following your blog, name's fickle fan =)

    Anyway, on to nonfiction reads! I loooove this! I'm actually drooling over Tony Blair's book but since it's only available in hardcover in my country, I think I'll wait a while before I would get it!

    For the readathon, I'm reading a copy of Belle de Jour: The Further Adventures of a London Call Girl

    I've finished her first book a few days back [review here: http://rubylovesadventure.blogspot.com/2010/10/belle-de-jour.html ]

    Outside of the readathon, I'm also reading an indie non-fiction book called the Lord of the Rams by Ronan Smith! Good fun! =)

    I am currently reading my fifth book for the read-a-thon and it is RUNNING THE BOOKS by Avi Steinberg. It tells the story of an "accidental prison librarain". The book I have is an ARC will go on sale October 26, 2010. I am finding it very interesting. I've got about 80 pages left so I should finish it within the challenges time frame.

    Once I am finished I will post to my blog at http://roseannthereadersotherbooks.blogspot.com/ I read all kinds of books and try to balance between both fiction and non-fiction. I like to think I learn a little something with every non-fiction book I read.

    I read J Maarten Troost's "Lost on Planet China" - Troost is probably the best travel writer around if you like some humor thrown in - after successfully navigating life in the islands of the South Pacific, Troost decides to take a look at China. Traveling to virtually every corner of the country in 2007, Troost gives some insight into the people and social life that is outside the mainstream.

    This challenge is perfect for my read-a-thon choices, because out of the 5 books I chose to read for this challenge, 3 are non-fiction.

    They are:
    The Skein and the Pair by Kathy Flanary Nelson
    This is about the lives of a gaggle of geese and a human couple

    Glimpsing God by Rachel Alkire
    Tragedies in the life of the author

    Oogy by Larry Levin
    A family adopts a dog who has had half his face tore off in a dog fighting ring

    A fourth, Miss Hildreth Wore Brown by Olivia deBelle Byrd is a semi non-fiction. Based on nf, it has been somewhat embellished.

    Hi! Waiter Rant is written by the man who writes the Waiter Rant blog, and it's a nonfiction memoir about his years working as a waiter in New York. It's hilarious (and creepy in places, if you like to eat out, which I do...). I'll be reviewing it on my blog later in the week, but I definitely recommend it!

    Oh - and I also started reading "Packing for Mars: the Curious Science of Life in the Void" which is a really neat take on space travel and the odd things it does to people.

    I think i've replied to all who have stopped in so far! It is 2:19 here. So I started reading my book, KEYES TO GOOD COOKING--This is the science behind food. I love the style the author uses. I'm not sure but I think if I studied in Food Science I'm not sure if I would ever eat again.
    This book is NOT a cookbook. It is a book or a guide to help you navigate through the ever expanding universe of recipes and arrive at the promised land of a satisfying dish.
    Good time to read this book. It is a bit technical but not overwhelming.
    Ok I'm off to read. I'll report back in at 3am! (30 mins or so)

    I finished reading one The Art of Living, http://azukibc.wordpress.com/2010/10/09/read-a-thon-hour-14/. Have two more that I've read partly and hopefully can finish tonight: The Accidental Explorer and Up at the Villa: Travel with my husband.

    I too enjoyed Waiter Rant. And speaking of Mars, I just finished The Martian Child. Also highly recommend Wesley the Owl and Geography of Bliss. I like Hot, Flat and Crowded too. And if you haven't read Mary Roach's books you must...

    My book that i'm reading "Keys to Good Cooking" is over 550 pages and I really thought that I could read it all during this 3 hr time slot! Well I haven't even gotten to page 100! It is a deep book!

    The NF challenged helped me focus on this book though!

    Good point that it made: Recipes are every where, cooking shows are every where and even food blogs (yep I'm a foodie, too).... We will come across a lot of recipes and some will give us reliable results but many won't!

    The book helps you if you keep failing at a recipe. I'm pretty good at creating recipes but very bad at passing them on to others.

    I just followed you via Google Friends.

    And coincidentally even before discovering this challenge I had updated my read-a-thon post with a list of the NF I've been spending time with today. I tend to have bookmarks in MANY NF at one time and wander back and forth among them whereas I can usually read only one fiction story at a time

    Glad to see someone in the thon promoting NF.

    I'm currently reading a non-fiction book, Neither Here Nor There by Bill Bryson, a travelogue based in Europe. And earlier I read The Lost City of Z, which is also non-fiction. I love it! =)
