Last week, I started The Wave: In Pursuit of Rogues, Freaks and Giants of the Ocean by Susan Casey. I found myself immediately drawn in, blown away by the utterly fascinating nature of her subject matter and her beautiful, impassioned writing. I loved her last book, The Devil’s Teeth, and her newest is every bit as engrossing.
I read a great deal of non-fiction that winds up significantly informing my fiction writing. I’m an information junkie, and gathering knowledge, as well as experience, is a key, if indirect, part of my process. Susan Casey’s new book got me thinking about some of my non-fiction favorites, and I wanted to share them with you.
