I don't have any suggestion off-hand, but I understand your request and actually have been reading so much less the past couple years just to avoid the heightened emotional tones that seem so pervasive. I want to read to learn and understand but I don't need calls to action or tugs on my heartstrings or the sort of smug outrage and moralism that is everywhere -- those come from all the rest of life.
Yes, exactly. Nonfiction can sometimes scratch that itch for me, but it's not exactly what I want either.
