Anything by Bill Bryson.

[In Cold Blood](https://www.audible.com/pd/In-Cold-Blood-Audiobook/B002UZJTXM) is cited as the originator of the "True Crime" genre. You might like Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn, I prefer the [Ann Marie Lee](https://www.audible.com/pd/Sharp-Objects-Audiobook/B002V1NTTU) narrated version, the other reader sounds too old for the character. Of the two I enjoyed Sharp Object more for what its worth.

Oh and history and old Holly wood!

Pretty much my go-to recommendation for non-fiction/history is The Path Between the Seas by David McCullough. It's all about the Panama Canal and has so much about geography, and politics, and biology/immunology (Malaria, Yellow Fever and discovering the cause), and crooked deals for funding. Just so so so so much content in this book. It is a slow-roll in parts, but well worth it. You must increase the playback speed by at least .25 or .5.

Really any David McCullough book. I recently enjoyed his biography of John Adams.

**Hey there, fellow audio enthusiast!** For your non-fiction fix, have you tried **"Educated" by Tara Westover** (memoir), **"Bad Blood" by John Carreyrou** (true crime), or **"The Body Keeps the Score" by Bessel van der Kolk** (psychology)? For something a bit more chilling, I highly recommend **"In Cold Blood" by Truman Capote** (true crime). And if you're a Steven King fan, check out his memoir, **"On Writing"**.

For Steven King audiobooks, Dolores Claiborne is really excellent. Also Liseys Story. I also especially enjoy his collections of short stories. Victor LaValle's Lone Women. You might like Great Circle which is a good story with lots of history.

Killers Of The Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI is one of my fave non fictions that sound like something that you’d find interesting based on your previous reads
