My To-Be-Read Pile: Non-fiction

I have a very long list of books on my Kindle wish list on Amazon.com: currently 142 books. There are many historical novels, fantasies and science-fiction, and historical mysteries. The rest are non-fiction, and I thought I thought I’d start with a few from that group. Hopefully, you will find one that sounds good and add it to your own list.

What is on your list of TBR? Can you categorize them easily, or are they eclectic? What is on the top of the list?
