Week 8- Non Fiction

This week I  have gained knowledge in the narrative non-fiction.  The appeal Characteristics , lack of appeal characteristics, appeals unique to Non-fiction, subject matter appeal and the classificationof the non-fiction aid in reader's services to the Non-fiction reader.  The articles express the importance and enjoyment  of crossing between non-fiction and fiction in reader's advisory.

I chose Biography, History ( 943.0862), Travel ( 918.11) and Medical (611) genres.

I could recommend: Unbroken: a World War II story of survival, resilence, and redemption by Laura Hillenbrand to fiction readers who like books on the holocaust or mysteries like December 6 by Martin Cruz Smith.

For History , I could recommend In the Garden of Beasts by Eric Larson to fiction readers of books set during World War II  such as readers of Flight from Berlin by David John.

For readers of Travel/ Adventure fiction such as Boy in the snow: an Edie Kialatuk Mystery by M.J. McGrath or Contest by Gordon Korman in young adult, I would recommend River of Doubt: Theodore Roosevelt's darkest Journey by Candice Millard.(918.11 M)

Readers of Medical fiction might like Stiff: curious lives of Human Cadavers (611 R) by Mary Roach.  I would especially recommend it to readers of The normals by David Gilbert.
