School project suggestions

[echoyjeff222]

We have a school project for this semester -- a book report on ANY nonfiction book (it has to be a good one, though).

I was wondering if you guys had any suggestions. I need something that I can write a paper on and perhaps be able to search up differing views on.

?? Anything historical would be nice, or something that's philosophical.

The Selfish Gene.

The Autobiography of Malcolm X and Into the Wild both had a definite impact on me and made me reconsider my perceptions of the world. Who defines good, by the way? You, or your teacher?

Here are a few suggestions, many of which are history books (I could go on and on...):

A Venetian Affair, by Andrea di Robilant

Footsteps, by Richard Holmes

Into Thin Air, by Jon Krakauer

As If, by Blake Morrison

Liberty, by Lucy Moore

In Cold Blood, by Truman Capote

The Boy Who Fell Out of the Sky, by Ken Dornstein

Read My Heart, by Jane Dunn

The Lost King of France, by Deborah Cadbury

Seconded. There's a 30th anniversary edition that will give you a good start on 'differing views' encountered in those 30 years...
