I find that most non-fiction books can be skimmed and that most text is filler. Who is a non-fiction author or what are your favorite non-fiction books where every word matters?

zero to one for me was solid even tho I read just half of it. otherwise beginning of infinity isn’t filler text cuz the author needs precise words to deliver his explanations for physics and theory of knowledge yada yada but also getting past no by William Ury is quite nice as well

i quite enjoyed this one by Bill Bryson...it's non-fiction, of course, but he focuses heavily on narrative and entertaining anecdotes about the people who assembled scientific knowledge over the ages. dense, but entertaining

Wouldn't that make it too intense to read? I'm not an avid reader though.

The writing / storytelling by Robert Caro in The Power Broker gives the reader more than just what Robert Moses did. The depth from the author provides the vivid storytelling of the why. Along with exhaustive research to prove the how. Excellent book.

Anything written by Wendell Barry. He writes sentences like he plants, his crops, methodically and with great deliberation.

ideally a lot of the filler acts in an repetitional way that’s interesting enough so that the concepts stick better than reading bullet points

I’d add James Clear’s Atomic Habits to the list each section is packed with actionable advice

Start with Atomic Habits! As a linguistics major, I used to hate all things non-fiction and that's until I needed some self-help and self-coaching and some of these books provided great insights. Atomic Habits was one of them
