Non-Fiction
Related: About this forumEducated, by Tara Westover
I'm late to the party, but I just finished reading Educated by Tara Westover. I said "wow" a lot, and some of it was VERY uncomfortable for me.
I have to admit that I haven't read an actual book for a long time, though I read all the time. I had almost forgotten how much I enjoyed books.

Quite a story, huh?
I'm FINALLY able to catch up on reading! I tend towards non-fiction, but always want to have some fiction going. I finally found some fiction I'm enjoying, and hope it's an author I can continue with! (Ann Patchett).
Congrats!

I also prefer non-fiction. I'm going to finish President Obama's last book, which I started quite awhile ago, and then I'll be looking for something else.
I'm finally in a place, emotionally, where I can really get into books again. Life is good.

(25,968 posts)Yes, I'm finally caught up enough with work, etc. to read!
I read Obama's pre-election books (Dreams from my Father and Audacity of Hope). If you are a podcast listener, he and Bruce Springsteen did a series of about 6 on Spotify called Renegades: Born in the USA. I highly recommend it, if you are a fan of either or both!!
