I've taken a break from nonfiction for a while (finished lotr and read a whole bunch of Stephen king). Now I want to go back to reading nonfiction, but I want something that will pull me in another world of facts I didn't know about. Be it political, sociology.... anything really. I don't know if "facts" is the word I'm looking for here (English is my second language). Can I say "discoveries"? Things you've found through the book that shocked you? Hope that makes sense.
Thanks in advance

Edit: Thank you all for the great suggestions. I've saved this post and will go through the list. Much, much appreciated 🫶🏽

Just finished that recently myself. One of the best books I've ever read that compels the reader to better understand what it means to be human on this planet.

This is the type of feedback that makes me want to read a non-fiction book.
