Readings 2012 - Nonfiction

I read nine nonfiction books this year which is a little unusual because I try to read one a month. The biography of James Brown was fantastic and I enjoyed the Paul Auster memoir. 

Besides the James Brown bio there were a couple more books about music... The Beatles and Bob Dylan. The weird one was Killing Yourself To Live which was a cross country tour of places were rock stars have died. Of course there were some history books on the list.
