I’ve taken a break from nonfiction for a while (finished lotr and read a whole bunch of Stephen king). Now I want to go back to reading nonfiction, but I want something that will pull me in another world of facts I didn’t know about. Be it political, sociology… anything really. I don’t know if “facts” is the word I’m looking for here (English is my second language). Can I say “discoveries”? Things you’ve found through the book that shocked you? Hope that makes sense.
Thanks in advance
Edit: Thank you all for the great suggestions. I’ve saved this post and will go through the list. Much, much appreciated 🫶🏽

I’m actually quarter way through this book and stopped a while ago. The author goes into so much details and it gets really boring. So, I’ve put it aside for now.
But that’s just not true, the author doesn’t go into so much detail that it gets boring, it’s a deeply fascinating book.
It’s a matter of preference.
