I have very few nonfiction books in my library that are not Jewish. Those few that I do have are quiet random.

Perfidy by Ben Hecht
Eat Drink Vote: An Illustrated Guide to Food Politics by Marion Nestle
The AP Stylebook
You Know You're A Republican/Democrat If... by Frank Benjamin
Toms River by Dan Fagin (Pulitzer Winner)
The Donald J. Trump Presidential Twitter Library by Trevor Noah
Guilt by Accusation: The Challenge of Proving Innocence in the Age of #MeToo by Alan Dershowitz (Kindle Edition)
How to Win Friends & Influence People by Dale Carnegie

I may sound like Randomex, but these are the secular non-fiction books I happen to own.

Not sure why you think these are random.

Not sure why you think these are random.

If someone has an interest in a certain subject, they often have a number of books on that subject. My books are:

1 diet book
1 Zionism book
1 grammar book
1 book about a local town
1 classic Dale Carnegie book
2 political satire books
1 book on current events/wokeness

[AsherO]

Does “kindle edition” count?

Green and purple are both half blue.

Doesn't apply to all, but many.

Although it's a great book, I would not want it sitting around in my house for my kids to find...

How to Win Friends & Influence People by Dale Carnegie

I've got one, too. I think it's the oldest book I own (1937, 23rd printing).

Perfidy by Ben Hecht

I would consider that an integral part of my religious library...

The chosen is one of my favorite books. My favorite focus is that it speaks about the process of how the frum culture insulated from the non/Jewish world.

(^The one I've read.)



(^The one I found out existed just now.)

Pictured: Covers that don't really tell you anything, except that apparently what the story was about changed between editions.

I might post some paragraphs one of these days, if I get around to it.
