12. Yes, I don't see why not

This is the "Fiction" group but many people respond here with non-fiction and I don't see why they shouldn't. Of course I am new to hosting here but I think we are all open to hearing about books worth reading, regardless of the genre. Back when these groups were all set up I guess someone thought it would be a good idea to differentiate but I don't think we're burning up any bandwidth here with our few opinions.

I gotta say, though: Rust? I heard on NPR yesterday that there is a book published that no one has ever purchased. The History of Toothpicks. You gotta laugh. BUT, I also know of a book called Cod about the history of cod fishing. Haven't read it yet but It is highly acclaimed. You just never know where you might find a most awesome book, regardless of its title or subject. So, I'm pretty much open to everything. So, do continue to let us know whatever you are reading. Good or bad.
