Favorite non-fiction you've read this year?

[clyrc]

I've read so many great non-fiction books this year, it's really made up for the not so great fiction books. I loved "The Secret History of the Mongol Queens: How the Daughters of Genghis Khan Rescued His Empire" by Jack Weatherford, "Paradise Beneath Her Feet-
How Women Are Transforming the Middle East" by Isobel Coleman, "Small Acts of Resistance: How Courage, Tenacity, and a Bit of Ingenuity Can Change the World" by Steve Crawshaw and John Jackson , "A Winter on the Nile: Florence Nightingale, Gustave Flaubert and the Temptations of Egypt"By Anthony Sattin, and I found "The Geopolitics of Emotion: How Cultures of Fear, Humiliation, and Hope are Reshaping the World" by Dominique Moisi very interesting.

But the book I loved most this year, and tried to get everyone to read, was "People Like Us: Misrepresenting the Middle East" by Joris Luyendijk. It's an amazing book, and my favorite of all the books I've read this year.
