Non-Fiction Five Challenge Finished

I successfully completed the Non-Fiction Five challenge. It was an okay challenge for me as 3 out of my 5 reads were average or below average. I will have to do a better job of picking non-fiction books in the future.

UPDATE: I have decided to update one of my picks for this challenge and replace Dreams of my Father by Barack Obama to Dispatches from the Edge by Anderson Cooper based on the great review by Lesley in March 2007 at Lesley's Book Nook Blog.

I have decided to participate in Thoughts of Joy's Non-Fiction Five Challenge taking place from May 1st to September 30th, 2007. The Five Non-Fiction Books I have decided to read are:

1. Sidney Poitier - Measure of a Man [completed June 10th, 2007]

2. Jon Krakauer - Eiger Dreams [completed August 8th, 2007]

3. Mireille Guiliano - French Women Don't Get Fat: The Secret of Eating For Pleasure [completed June 29th, 2007]

4. Sarah Ban Breathnach - Something More - Excavating Your Authentic Self [completed May 5th, 2007]

5. Anderson Cooper - Dispatches from the Edge [completed September 3rd, 2007]


I really enjoy reading memoirs however wanted to try to include other types of non-fiction books into the challenge and I think the above is a good mix.
