I've really appreciated the amount of detail, effort, and thoughtfulness you've brought to all of your Nonfiction Files posts! Love the recs especially in the "lighter" nonfiction section.

Your ethics section was great, and it made me think of something loosely related. I'm currently reading NO MORE TEARS and it has me thinking about the legal ramifications of expose books like this. I remember Patrick Radden Keefe mentioning that with EMPIRE OF PAIN, and I know that was a big story with CARELESS PEOPLE. I'm not sure if that's anything you know about - I guess the question is: how do authors/publishers go about publishing a book that could potentially get them sued? Maybe that could be a topic for a later post or podcast?

I love your thoughtful and detailed responses here - thank you! The questions are fantastic and have really got my wheels turning now, too. I had to chuckle at your comment about making a hefty nonfiction book your whole personality while reading it - I can totally relate! :-) Thanks for sharing!
