Like most writing assignments I would rather just put them off until the last moment then write what comes to mind. I must say when I first read the prompt I thought this would be a pain in the rear but then an idea struck me. Since I haven't read many non-fiction books shouldn't it be easy for me to choose one that I like? The only book that came to mind was Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser.
Eric Schlosser's Fast Food Nation is the only non-fiction book that I craved to continue reading. I was at my state swimming meet and all of my friends were talking about their races while I was sitting on the bleachers reading until it was my time to race. I love how Eric was able to present his research in a story that wasn't dense and boring. Every page had something new that opened my eyes to how fast food chains work to make profit and manipulate their customers. I felt a connection with Eric while reading. I thought I was right next to him, seeing what he saw and hearing what he heard. The imagery in the book was very intense and I wanted more at the end of each chapter.
