Ri A good entry point imo are memoirs, biographies. Highly recommend Anthony Bourdain’s Kitchen Confidential. His personal experiences in the food & bev service industry, his struggles in life with mental health and substances, along with his (dry, dark) humor, were really interesting. RIP to him; he’s an imperfect human yet relatable to many.

i've already read some very good memoirs ,i suppose i should rephrase lol! im looking for informative non fiction if you will..
teaching you about certain topics. (not sure if that makes sense)
even about history and current issues with the world!
BUT i will definitely take that recommendation! thanks Ri!

Ri Yeah that makes more sense. I’d say just keep an open mind if you do read my suggestion. It very much reflects the time period in certain points, as it’s limited to Bourdain’s POV. It’s not an egalitarian or feminist memoir by any means lol lot of non-PC terms and whatnot.

I hope you get more reccs from friends or find some more in your spare time. Have a great day/night. (:
