Lists from 2006 and 2007, 2008’s list is in the preceding post but one. In 2008 and 2006, all the non-fiction books I read were first-time reads. In 2007 I re-read 3 non-fiction books. An interesting fact, I think. While I think I tend to value the non-fiction I read more highly than the fiction, I overwhelmingly come back to the fiction. On the other hand, it could well be that I don’t read the non-fiction books cover-to-cover after having done so for the first time, but sample them in smaller chunks.
