Who are some well known non-fiction writers?

Answer 1

Non-fiction comes in all sorts of varieties: memoir, history, self-help, politics... Here's some authors I came up with off the top of my head.

Mitch Album ("Tuesdays with Morrie")
John Grogan ("Marley and Me")
David McCullough ("John Adams")
Maya Angelou ("I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings")
Dr. Phil McGraw ("The Ultimate Weight Solution")

Answer 2

Bill Bryson
Laura Schlessinger(sp?)
Truman Capote
Ann Rule
SATAnn Coulter
E.D. Hirsch

Answer 3

David Haslberstam for about anything. But read Truman Capote's "In Cold Blood", the book that changed American non-fiction.

Answer 4

Augusten Burroughs; Running With Scissors, Dry, Sellevision, etc. Perfect mixture of comedy/tragedy.

Answer 5

I wouldn’t go by the New York Times. Who knows if the sources are imaginary or not! I personally like Truman Capote, Ken Wilbur, Carl Zimmer, and most recently Francis S. Collins.
