What makes a good summer nonfiction read?
This week I made some recommendations on that subject over at BlogHer as part of their ongoing summer reading coverage. Here’s what I was thinking about as I put together my list:
When I think about nonfiction reads for the summer, I always return to books that are both a lot of fun to read and that don’t take a lot of brainpower to parse through. The authors with books on this list are definitely smart, but they’ve also found a way to make their topics — everything from the birth of forensic toxicology to the history of a favorite summer toy — easily digestible even after a margarita or two.
I hope you’ll take a look at the post and offer up your own suggests for great summer nonfiction!

Read it yesterday and loved it! Great post.
Ooh, that sounds like the perfect summer reading list: not too heavy but not too light either. I’m heading over there to check it out now!
I hope you find a book to enjoy!
Loved your list!
Great article! Great list! Glad to see Poisoner’s Handbook made the list!
Great list! Lunatic Express has me intrigued! So I want to read that.
