I do not read much nonfiction for fun. But, listening to the unabridged version of Tyrannosaurus Sue : The Extraordinary Saga of the Largest, Most Fought over T-Rex Ever Found by Steve Fiffer and Robert T. Bakker was wonderful. I found myself totally engrossed in this "truth is stranger than fiction" story as I drove across the state. The story of how Sue came to live in Chicago, how the legal system views fossil hunters, and lives of the people involved with the saga has made me rethink my view of non-fiction literature as enjoyable.
It may not be the hottest item in the library but if it can keep me intrested, it will probally keep the intrest of a few students.
