can't get enough nonfiction

I used to be a strictly fiction girl. I only read nonfiction if forced to which was not very often. Then a few years ago we started doing a book club with some friends where usually the males picked the books. This meant that we read a lot of nonfiction. It turns out men and boys generally prefer nonfiction. I really got hooked on the stuff and have been reading significantly more nonfiction ever since. I even find myself buying children's nonfiction books. Here are some nonfiction books that I have read recently:

• Hungry Planet by Peter Menzel and Faith D'Aluisio: I found this book absolutely fascinating. The pictures above are from this book. The authors traveled the world taking pictures of families with the food that they would eat during the period of one week. I was amazed at the differences between industrialized and third-world countries. I was shocked at the infiltration of American brands across the world. It also provides statistics about each country related to eating habits, health, and diet. For a sneak preview of the book, see here, here, and here to see some stuff about it in Time Magazine. Menzel is also behind a book called Material World: A Global Family Portrait. I have seen pictures from this book before and have it on hold at the library to check it out.
• The Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan: This book was quite interesting but a bit long and seemed to drag some in the beginning. He talks about the industrialization of food and compares the true costs of this food to organic foods as well as to what he calls slow food, or unprocessed foods. It made me think twice about what I buy. I don't know that in the long run, though, it will actually change much about my food purchases. I am thinking about reading his next book, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto.
• Wild Swans: Three Daughters of China by Jung Chang: I read this for my ward's book club and loved it. I could hardly put it down. The author tells about the experiences of three generations of women in her family, her grandmother, her mother, and herself, in China. I think most people know very little about China and its history. This book was very eye-opening for me, and I would highly recommend it. The hold that Mao had over that country is frightening in its intensity. What these women experienced was unbelievable.
• Riding the Bus With My Sister: A True Life Journey by Rachel Simon: In this true account, the author takes time out of her life and rides the public transportation buses with her special needs sister for a year. I enjoyed the account as she gives a very honest account of the struggles she has in dealing with her sister and her quirks, needs, and personality. It gives a fly-on-the-wall account of what a family might experience as a child with special needs grows up and navigates the world as an adult.

Some other nonfiction that I found interesting over the past few years includes:

• Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers by Mary Roach
  
• Death's Acre: Inside the Body Farm by Dr. Bill Bass and Jon Jefferson
  
• Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser

I know there are more, but they just aren't coming to mind right now. I'll add them in later if I think of them.

I'm craving more nonfiction these days. Have any of you out there got any recommendations for me? Something you've read and enjoyed? Something you have heard about? Something you've got on your list to read?
