Twenty Years of Reading Logs, Part 6: Nonfiction

Here's the last post of my series that's been celebrating how my reading habits have evolved over two decades. This one will be very short! It covers nonfiction and I (mostly) don't track subcategories when it comes to nonfiction. (I sort of do, in that if I read a nonfiction book about, say, Star Trek, I count it with my Star Trek numbers, not my nonfiction numbers.)

What is not very surprising is that my nonfiction peaks in the 2011-15 period, when I was in grad school, and specifically, I am sure it's all down to 2012-13, when I was reading for my doctoral exams, and had to read myriad works of literary criticism and history. I've never read that much nonfiction before or since! I probably should be better about keeping up with my field.
