We may, finally, be leaving the era of novels with titles that go like this: The Something-something life of somebody-somebody. I could possibly populate the entire list with such titles. Instead I’m listing the nonfiction books I’ve enjoyed that have longer-than-normal titles.
50 Children: One Ordinary American Couple’s Extraordinary Rescue Mission into the Heart of Nazi Germany by Steven Pressman My review is here.
She Got Up Off the Couch: And Other Heroic Acts from Mooreland, Indiana by Haven Kimmel.
The Ghost Map: The Story of London’s Most Terrifying Epidemic–and How It Changed Science, Cities, and the Modern World by Steven Johnson. My review is here.
My Faraway Home: An American Family’s WWII Tale of Adventure and Survival in the Jungles of the Philippines by Mary McKay Maynard. My review is here.
The Romanov Sisters: The Lost Lives of the Daughters of Nicholas and Alexandra by Helen Rappaport. My review is here.
Hippie Food: How Back-to-the-Landers, Longhairs, and Revolutionaries Changed the Way We Eat by Jonathon Kauffman, My review is here.
The Man Who Made the Beatles: An Intimate Biography of Brian Epstein by Ray Coleman. I took this book with me to Peace Corps service in August 1989. It was my contribution to the Peace Corps Malawi library that went from backpack to backpack, secondary school to government ministry.
My Twenty-Five Years in Provence: Reflections on Then and Now by Peter Mayle, My review is here.
The Girls of Atomic City: The Untold Story of the Women Who Helped Win World War II by Denise Kiernan. My review is here (scroll down to the second review).
Autumn in Venice: Ernest Hemingway and His Last Muse by Andrea di Robilant. My review is here.

Nonfiction titles tend to get so very long! I really enjoyed Haven Kimmel’s books, especially on audio. Great list!

It’s been fun to see lists (including yours) that focus on non-fiction titles. You have some great ones! I’ve been wanting to read Ghost Map for a while now, ever since a doctor friend of mine recommended it.

I listened to the audio and found myself sitting in the parking lot at work, or the driveway at home, to listen to “just a few minutes more:” Get it!

I read Mayle’s A Year in Provence which was made into a TV series! He is very witty so I wonder if I should check this one out. The Romanov sisters one also sounds good.

I loved Year in Provence–both the book and the series. Romanov book is good, though Nicholas and Alexandra is still the best albeit without any post USSR information.

I love that you went with nonfiction titles for this! And so many great ones, too. The Ghost Map has been on my TBR pile for way longer than I care to admit.
