This list is a popularity contest. If the book does not have 100,000 ratings I will eventually delete it. However, I expect there are more nonfiction books on goodreads that I missed - so go forth and find them.

Removing 10 books for having less than 100,000 ratings - removed After The Prophet, The Gulag Archipelago, Dreams From My Father, Man's Search for Meaning, The Warmth of Other Suns, The Guns of August, From Dawn to Decadence, Guns Germs and Steel, Kitchen Confidential, Survival in Auschwitz,
Just reminded of http://www.goodreads.com/shelf/show/n.... I'll be curious to see how many books from that list could be on this one.

It says A Short History of Nearly Everything has 161,018 ratings, but when you go to the book's page, it has 94,468. What gives, Goodreads?

That's because it is actually showing the number of books shelved as the number of books rated. Seeing the number of books shelved AS a shelved number would be an interesting addition.

I was also surprised to see Eat, Pray and Love on here as I thought that was fiction.

Added a new nonfiction list for nonfiction with 10,000 to 24,999 ratings. Still think these lists are missing quite a few books though.https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/8...

It's your list. Do what you want.

I'm comfortable removing On the Road.

(I got into a discussion about it once and finally backed off because of the sheer number of people who thought of it as non-fiction). But as you are the creator of this Listopia...
Little house in the big Woods by LauraIngalls Wilder is historical fiction. It
is not non-fiction.
#22.

Although I'm personally inclined to agree with you, a lot of people seem to have shelved it as non-fiction and the stories in the Little house series are (if I'm correctly informed) at least to some degree based on the author's own life. So I'm not removing it just now.
The Interestings, however, seems to be labeled as pure fiction, so I removed that one.
