If there are any non fiction Storygraph (non-amazon owned alternative to Goodreads) users out there willing to share your username, please comment or DM me.

I'd like to see everything you've read/are reading for my own curiosity / to potentially add to my list. I love non fiction (sociology, memoir, politics, philosophy, feminism, history, health, art/poetry etc) but don't know anyone with quite the same tastes. I use the app feature to find similar users but it's a bit hit and miss.

To add some value to this post related to a specific book, my best somewhat niche recent recommendation is Darkness Now Visible by Carol Gilligan and David A.J Richards. They offer a fascinating and well written thesis about patriarchy in modern society

I think we've got some overlap in our interests. My profile. I've been trying to read more fiction recently so you might want to filter to non-fiction to hide all the Terry Pratchett!

Some recent specifics that might be interesting:

Invisible Women: Exposing Data Bias in a World Designed for Men by Caroline Criado Pérez

On Savage Shores: How Indigenous Americans Discovered Europe by Caroline Dodds Pennock

They aren't all by authors named Caroline by the way.

Yessss! This excites me an enormous amount. Thank you for mentioning those two. Even from a quick initial look I can see some I've read and enjoyed and some I absolutely want to add to my list. The Agony of Eros - I would never have come across that but I'm intrigued

Every time I come across snippets of Byung-Chul Han's philosophy I find it so interesting. Unfortunately, I haven't got around to his books yet. Something to look forward to, I guess.

I'm glad my lists are helpful!
