Day 14 - A Non-fictional Book

Even though non-fiction is a far larger body of work than fiction, it occupies a far narrower area on my bookshelves. I can consider individual books instead of series, authors or genres. Still, my favorite is still an entire category rather than a single publication. I love myths. Greek mythology was one of my favorite things to read about as a kid, and I still love myths to this day. I love the things they tell you about the people who told the stories, and the things they tell you about people as a whole. If we ever encounter other living things in the universe, I think the commonalities between our myths (and I've no doubt there would be some) would be fascinating to find.
