100 Best Non-Fiction Books

The Guardian has just published its list of the best 100 works of non-fiction. It is (understandably) biased towards British titles, but worth a look regardless.

I am embarrassed to admit that I have read only one of the books on the list. Time to get cracking I guess.

Vintage Affair

I picked up Vintage Affair by Isabel Wolff based on a review of the author’s current title – just to see what her writing was like. It turned out to be a delightful contemporary story, packed with references to vintage fashions, vivid characters and a nice romance (or two) as well. It was one of those books that suddenly you are at the end, and you are surprised to discover that you are because you have been enjoying the read so much.
