Trying to decide on a NF book to read [View all]

I am absolutely horrible at deciding what to read in my massive Non-Fiction TBR pile. I have so many to choose from that I get bouts of decision paralysis, and end up retreating back to fiction, where I'm more comfortable (and decisive).

I've made myself narrow my list down to five that seem like good contenders. If I could do a poll I would, but I'm not a star member. Instead I'll list my finalists here, and anyone can recommend what they like. If you want to include your reasoning for it, that's cool, too.

Here they are:

*Kate Dawson - American Sherlock

*Patrick Keefe - Rogues

*Rebecca Skloot - The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks

*Jack Weatherford - Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World

*White, April - The Divorce Colony

Whatever book gets the most recs, I'll read it.
