Chapter Eight - Do you read non-fiction?

from Another Chapter

In Chapter 8 Claire and Rebecca sit down and delve a bit deeper into the world of non-fiction. Why do we read non-fiction? What constitutes non-fiction? And why do we not read as much non-fiction when we compare it to the amount of fiction we consume? We hope you enjoy listening to our discussion as much as we enjoyed having it. — Recommended / Suggested books: The Kennedy Curse by James Patterson Perversion of Justice: The Jeffrey Epstein Story by Julie K.

Song Against Songs, The by G. K. Chesterton (1874 - 1936) LibriVox LibriVox volunteers bring you 9 recordings of The Song Against Songs by G. K. Chesterton. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for October 16, 2011. Chesterton was a large man, standing 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) and weighing around 21 stone (130 kg; 290 lb). His girth gave rise to a famous anecdote. During World War I a lady in London asked why he was not 'out at the Front'; he replied, 'If you go round to the side, you will see that I am.' On another occasion he remarked to his friend George Bernard Shaw: "To look at you, anyone would think a famine had struck England". Shaw retorted, "To look at you, anyone would think you have caused it". P. G. Wodehouse once described a very loud crash as "a sound like Chesterton falling onto a sheet of tin."( Summary from Wikipedia )
