I do most of my non-fiction reading via audiobooks and listen while driving or doing chores. My mind wanders when I read non-fiction as a print book, but not as an audio book. I also recommend a lot of memoirs in that form, when the author reads. I just finished The Manicurist's Daughter, which was very good. And there are lots of Vietnamese words and phrases that were powerful to hear pronounced vs me attempting to read them.

I haven’t dipped into the Memoire pool yet, but will jot down your recommendation for when I do! :)
