If there are any non fiction Storygraph (non-amazon owned alternative to Goodreads) users out there willing to share your username, please comment or DM me.

I'd like to see everything you've read/are reading for my own curiosity / to potentially add to my list. I love non fiction (sociology, memoir, politics, philosophy, feminism, history, health, art/poetry etc) but don't know anyone with quite the same tastes. I use the app feature to find similar users but it's a bit hit and miss.

To add some value to this post related to a specific book, my best somewhat niche recent recommendation is Darkness Now Visible by Carol Gilligan and David A.J Richards. They offer a fascinating and well written thesis about patriarchy in modern society

Already so many great recommendations in this thread, my most recent (and essential in my eyes) impactful non-fiction read is Seeing Like a State: How Certain Schemes to Improve the Human Condition Have Failed by James C. Scott ; it was written in the late 90s, however, a lot of what it has to say is quite salient with corporations being as large as nation states.

    Another Terry Pratchett reader! I think you take the cake for the largest to read list I've ever seen at more than 2,800 - good for you!

    Thank you for sharing your recommendation and profile link, I will be browsing in depth.

    Searches: selfhood in the digital age stands out as one I'm very interested in

    Haha oh dear 😅, I'm sure a majority of that list came together from simply seeing what others are reading via the weekly thread. This community is both a blessing and a curse lmao, so many books but so little time!
