2013 Reading Challenge: Nerdy Non-Fiction Challenge

Throughout 2012, I've read 200+ books (based on my Goodreads list). However, I realized that majority of them are fiction books and I only listed 22 non-fiction books in my "read" shelf!

Based on that. I am planning to read more non-fiction books in 2013. Coincidentally, I found the "Nerdy Non-Fiction Challenge" that I think it is perfect to motivate me in reading non-fiction. If you are interested, you should check the host blog for more information.



I'll post my to-read list in here. Some books I already laid eyes upon are (p.s. if there is a link on the book, it will direct you to my review of the book):

* Autobiography, Biography, Memoir
- The Other Side of Me - Sidney Sheldon
- Tuesdays with Morrie - Mitch Albom

* Science-Nature, Weather, Biology, Geology
- Astronomy for Entertainment - Y. Perelman
- Astronomy Handbook: Guide to the Night Sky - Clare Gibson (this one has been sitting in my book shelf for YEARS!)

* Religion, Spirituality, Philosophy
- Who Made God? And Answers to Over 100 Other Tough Questions of Faith (this one has been in my shelf for years as well.)
- Respectable Sins: Confronting the Sins We Tolerate - Jerry Bridges

Update (January 9)
* Literary Criticism/Theory:
- Draf 1: Taktik Menulis Fiksi Pertamamu (Draft 1: Tactics for Writing Your First Fiction) - Winna Efendi
- Menulis & Menerbitkan Buku Fiksi & Non Fiksi - Zamakh Syarifani
(Both are books about how to write and publish a book and both are Indonesian books.)

* Travel:
- Titik Nol - Agustinus Wibowo
- Kapitalisme Soviet? Sebuah Catatan Perjalanan - Tjipta Lesmana

Update (February 3)
* History- US, World, European, etc
- Kendaraan Tempur Perang Dunia II (Armoured Fighting Vehicles of the World War II) - Muhammad Daud Darmawan
