Booking Through Thursday - Niche

I haven't participated in Booking Through Thursday for a while because I just haven't had anything interesting to say to the questions. But I love this week's and would have answered sooner but have been busy.

"There are certain types of books that I more or less assume all readers read. (Novels, for example.) But then there are books that only YOU read. Instructional manuals for fly-fishing. How-to books for spinning yarn. How to cook the perfect souffle. Rebuilding car engines in three easy steps. Dog training for dummies. Rewiring your house without electrocuting yourself. Tips on how to build a NASCAR course in your backyard. Stuff like that. What niche books do YOU read?"

I love parenting books and books about all kinds of psychology, sociology and cultural/gender issues. For example:

Cultural Issues:

In Your Face: The Culture of Beauty and You by Shari Graydon
Homophobia: How We All Pay the Price by Warren Blumenfeld

Gender Issues:

Rapunzel's Daughters: What Women's Hair Tells Us About Women's Lives by Rose Weitz

Fast Girls: Teenage Tribes and the Myth of the Slut by Emily White

Psychology:

One Child by Torey L. Hayden

Sociology:

Click: What Millions of People Do Online and Why it Matters by Bill Tancer
Raising Children in a Socially Toxic Environment by James Garbarino
The Survivor's Club: The Secrets and Science That Could Save Your Life by Ben Sherwood
Quirkology: The Curious Science of Everyday Lives by Richard Wiseman

Some of those are my early reviews and as such don't include book covers and are short, sorry. If you feel like buying any of those books, feel free to support me by buying through My Amazon Affiliate Link
