A Truly Excessive Nonfiction Haul | Science

[@cats1977]

Non fiction book hauls are so much more interesting to me than fiction book hauls. Thank you for these. Looking forward to your third nf book haul and to non fiction November!

[@mayagopalak]

True! Three cheers to Non fiction November:)

[@DM-wm9rb]

Same here

[@TheTeddybear1992]

I haven't read any of these, yet, but the middle half of them sounds so good

[@marie-joseedrolet9655]

I LOOOVE your channel and my tbr suffers. ☺️Thanks !!!

[@TheTeddybear1992]

Lol, I got such a kick out of this video, and btw,I really like the darker lipstick color you wear better than the brighter one 😊 please keep doing nonfiction hauls, discussions, etc, love your channel

[@bunnyzhop]

I've been watching your videos on and off for a few years now and I gotta say I love your nonfiction videos, I always find myself jotting notes down when I watch! I was wondering if you've heard of Spaceman: an astronaut's unlikely journey to unlock the secrets of the universe by Mike Massimino? I just picked it up and so far it's a pretty cool read. Can't wait for your next video :) x

[@Nyledam89]

Patiently waiting for the animals and nature haul... :) But this one was of course super interesting as well! I am planning to read The Emperor of All Maladies for non-fiction November. Am really excited for that!

[@CuriousReader]

Oh the book on symmetry sounds so good! I'm really pattern and symmetry oriented so the scientific side to it is something I've also been interested in, particularly in relation to things like art and music. I love that I can always count on you for weird and specific nonfiction niches I had never considered before!

[@abookolive]

Weird and specific nonfiction niches sounds about right 😂

[@timetoread1795]

That New York Times Book of Science looks AMAZING!!! Science is prooooobably my favorite type of nonfiction in general? I think? And I love articles/essays/etc...soooo yeah, adding that to my list. The Emperor of All Maladies has been in the back of my mind foreeeevvveerrrr...I have The Gene though and I refuse to buy it until I read that one. Too many books on my shelves, I don't read nearly as much as you, lol.

[@BookishTrina]

Yay! I couldn't wait for this one! I now want to read The Emperor of All Maladies, Admissions, Morgue, and The Buried Soul (yup, love my non-fiction dark too). As a Philly native, I also want to read Dr. Mutter's Marvels. I haven't been but to the museum but am now planning to go when I get home to visit. So exciting! Great video Olive, thank you.

[@ThatsWhatSheRead]

Okay but why is it that when I watch these hauls I immediately think I need to read all the non fiction?? And of course the end of the haul is my favorite

[@abookolive]

ALL THE NONFICTION

[@pattidoyle5102]

I can’t help but remember there are so many books and so little time!

[@marginaliant]

I saw the Cristin O'Keefe Aptowicz book while at the Mütter Museum in Philadelphia and am now kicking myself that I didn't pick it up because I'd nearly forgotten about it! Great video as always

[@melissapaquette657]

I LOVED morgue so much! I would recommend Caitlin Doughty as an author if you haven’t discovered her books yet, she writes about death and customs around the world and man is she interesting.

[@loveinthetimeofmrsa2542]

Those books on TB sound interesting!

[@amusicalbookworm]

You must have amazing library sales! I rarely find interesting nonfiction in my local library sales. I am a little intimidated by science nonfiction but these all sound so fascinating.

[@BookmarksandBookshelves]

Excellent haul, as usual. Dr. Mutter's Marvels is fantastic and I hope you enjoy!

[@KylaCharter]

I'm not a huge non-fiction reader, but those last three sound SO interesting!

[@IzzyRain]

I got several nonfiction books today, all of them being historical ones though. I love to expand my knowledge with science ones!

[@pattidoyle5102]

I love this list! I’ve just found your channel and feel like I’ve just found out I have a younger twin. 😂

[@abookolive]

Nice to meet you, twin! 😁👋

[@Merv1e]

I’m currently reading The Emperor of all maladies and I’m really enjoying it. Also I took screenshots of nearly every book on this book haul, so many interesting titles! :)

[@BookishNorth]

I thought my never ending tbr would be safe watching this haul as science books are not the top of my nonfiction priority list. I was wrong.

[@abookolive]

😂😂😂

[@gdandrews]

A brilliant haul 😍. This is going to blow up my TBR!

[@BohoBookworm]

Wow so interesting to see books on TB as my dad had it for a long time and almost died from it. Ooooh I want to get my hands on Morgue!!

[@thuntz29]

Yes! The Emperor of All Maladies is amazing! Great haul. I need to pick up The Disappearing Spoon.

[@arp711]

The World Without Us was quite interesting, especially because some day it may all come to pass (and "some day" is seeming closer and closer every day, sigh). And The Emperor of All Maladies truly is amazing - it's super informative and detailed, but never felt academic or dry. I was fascinated the whole time reading it.

[@maryhinkle1756]

In mentioning Tuberculosis..I enjoyed reading, A White Wind Blew, by James Markert. It is a fictional book set in the 1920’s at the Waverly Hills a TB hospital in Kentucky.

[@abookolive]

That sounds fantastic, thanks so much for the recommendation! I don't know why, but I'm so attracted to fiction and nonfiction that deal with disease.

[@theredheadisreading2251]

There are so many interesting books in here--The Remedy, Life in Ruins, Mutter, etc!! What an excellent haul!

[@just_a_man2024]

Very nice book review 👍love it thank you, give us more non fiction.

[@LiteraryStoner]

~Watches abookolive's nonfiction book haul~ ~TBR increases~ It never fails! ^_^ And so excited for Nonfiction November!

[@abookolive]

November come fasterrrrr

[@TheNovelSanctuary]

I wasn't a huuuuuge fan of the Mutter book BUTT I am super duper excited to hear your thoughts on it and hope you like it more than I did!

[@InfiniteText]

Great selection! Am loving the death books! I read Morgue but I haven't heard of the buried soul. I'll add it to the TBR sounds delicious!

[@leegoulter514]

Sigh 😖. I just knew I should never have watched this video! My non-fiction TBR pile is already approaching the size and lean of that famous tower of Pisa, and now you've brought even more to my attention! At least some of these were already known to me, though I still haven't read them. My little sister, who is in remission from stage four breast cancer, and is still the last person I would have expected to have read The Emperor of All Maladies before I had, has been raving about that book for six years! Guess it's time I picked it up. I have several of Mary Roach's books and one is on this month's TBR, but, except for a few rare exceptions, my non-fiction reading this year has tended more towards biography and history. There are times I wish I had my own Booktube channel just so I could see if I could make you wail, "Why didn't I know about that book? " as often as you make me say it! Still, thanks for sharing, despite the fact that there are too many books and too little time. I'm going to have to live to be 1000, just to read all the books you've recommended to me. And please don't get me started on the ones I hear about from Steve Donoghue! I'd have to be immortal, or at least as young as you and Steve. Alas, I'm already 70, so you youngsters will probably get the better of me 😞. I've gone on too long! Can't wait to hear how you like these books, and, sadly, because of that already tottering TBR, I'm even still eagerly awaiting your nature video.

[@danecobain]

Wow, some awesome finds here!

[@joreads8782]

You should try and read The Disappearing Spoon this year, as it is The International year of the Periodic Table. Also a bunch here I still have to get to reading and some more new books for my TBR!

[@abookolive]

Oh, I didn't know that! That's so cool. I don't know if I'm going to read The Disappearing Spoon this year, but I will be reading a different book on the periodic table, so it works out haha.

[@tannehjah3896]

@@abookolive what’s the different book on periodic table will you be reading ?

[@CharlesHeathcote]

Such an amazing variety of non-fiction, I shall be perusing my library in search of a few of these works. Lives in Ruins particularly interests me. :)

[@halfmanhalfbook]

The Disappearing Spoon is really good. Can also recommend Periodic Tales by Hugh Aldersley-Williams too if you haven't already read it. I liked by didn't love Storm in a Teacup, but she is a really good presenter. The Spark of life is worth reading too.

[@abookolive]

Periodic Tales is on my priority list for the next couple months! We're always on the same wavelength, Paul 😊

[@halfmanhalfbook]

It seems that way,@@abookolive

[@mayagopalak]

Love your science haul. Especially the TB books. You'll love emperor of all maladies. Have you read Paul Kalanithi's "When breath becomes air". It explores death from both and doctor's and patients perspective. You'll definitely appreciate it.

[@abookolive]

That one's on my 5 star nonfiction predictions list! Going to read it later this year.

[@mayagopalak]

@@abookolive great! And I have a new bird book to recommend to you... Oh wait let me wait till your next non fiction haul video.

[@santoshr2984]

I am non-fiction guy, fiction just puts me off .. loved this list. I am gonna get some of those. The emperor of all Maladies is sitting on my rack for ages. Sapiens was a good read. Trying to attempt to read "Ideas by Peter Watson" :)

[@hailvincent]

Dr. Mutter’s Marvels is one of the best books I’ve read in the past three years! I can’t explain why I love it so much, but it definitely cracked open my interest in medical history. My family bookclub is starting The Butchering Art this month (my choice, obviously). On a shallow note, can you name your lipsticks in the description box 👀

[@nukhbahsany9712]

you have amazing way of summarizing books and now I really interested to read some of them. after finishing bill gates's 2019 summer reading list i'll come back to this video again

[@byronsbrain]

I'm putting The Remedy on my TBR...

[@Ashley04missy]

The disappearing spoon was great I hope you like it

[@kelmom25boys60]

Olive, could you please let me know how you hear about all these library book sales? I live near the city and only know about my local library sale and of course the HPB sale at the Monroeville Convention Center, can’t wait for that!!!!

[@ggman69]

I have Henry Marsh's other book named Do No Harm. I think you will like Naming Nature by Carol Kaesuk Yoon

[@leticiatoraci9855]

The World without us seems quite interesting.

[@myreadinglife8816]

The Emperor of all Maladies is fantastic.

[@jennisrandom42]

The Disappearing Spoon is one of my favorite nonfiction books ever.

[@frugal10]

Ok so I think I need to go and get The Remedy immediately! It sounds fascinating 😷

[@hassanidris6434]

Very amazing books I never heard it before any of these books but I research to scientist books reading

[@Addressa]

Now I've got a few more to keep an eye out for at my library sales! :D Thanks!

[@abookolive]

Of course! Good luck at your sales :)

[@audreyh7892]

The TB books sound interesting

[@williamstewart3058]

I read the Disappearing Spoon I think in 2016 I enjoyed it

[@charlottetracy3970]

The Soldier one is good by mary roach

[@carlissashevalier8902]

I hope you read The Remedy soon!

[@marelikemp20]

Please tell me what was the book you read on the immune system? Sounds interesting.

[@TheRoomNote]

Remedy is the Theranos of the 19th century 🤣💀

[@abookolive]

LOL! It certainly seems like it!!

[@elizabethreads0312]

I read The World Without Us 3-4 years ago. I remember really enjoying the content but didn’t find the writing style compelling.

[@shaileshgadakh6503]

Please give name of the book which u read on entire immune system mentioned at 5.15.thanks

[@abookolive]

An Elegant Defense by Matt Richtel

[@pallll12r]

Pls i beg anyone to recommend me a book about chemistry

[@suej947]

Uncle Tungsten by Oliver Sachs is the story of Oliver Sachs childhood during the war. His uncle allowed him to use his laboratory and the young Oliver “discovered “ the periodic table by his own experiments. Like all his books it is very interesting. I’m not very interested in chemistry but I really enjoyed this book.

[@timbatimbero3934]

HURRA !
