I know exactly what you are talking about. I don’t read a lot of nonfiction but if I mention that I read in general, biographies are usually the first thing people ask about.

I’m going to sound like I’m hating on biographies, but I’m absolutely not. Many biographies have great importance. But…I feel like a lot of people read biographies because they are a form of gossip and people like gossip. In my experience, people who only read biographies also read celebrity gossip.

Do you have any earth science recommendations for someone who enjoys science in general? I’ve always liked biology and all of its disciplines.
