It was a Nonfiction Summer!

Best nonfiction book I read this summer was a biography of Steve Jobs. It's a fascinating look at a man who impacted so many. He was intense to the point of rudeness at times, but wow, he made an impact!
A close second for my favorite nonfiction title is Bill O'Reilly's Killing Lincoln. It tells the story of the last few weeks of the Civil War from the points of view of many different participants including President Lincoln and John Wilkes Booth. With the 150 year anniversary of the Gettysburg Address coming up this provides a lot of conversation starters!
