The Joy of Non Fic for the Writer and Reader

[jsridler]

For a long while, I had a hard time reading fiction. Most things I read just didn't catch fire. They were mechanical beasts and I could see the scars of how they worked and couldn't get lost in the story

Indeed. It's all storytelling, and all awesome!

Very cool. Did you read HELTER SKELTER or something else.

A expose history of the pro wrestling biz written in 1937 generated "Skulduggery at the Junction." You might dig it, Laird. Check it out if you get the chance:

I think non-fiction is as important to a writer as fiction. Without a knowledge of the world, fiction can become too untied to reality.
