Critic Bethanne Patrick recommends 10 promising titles — fiction and nonfiction — to consider for your December reading list.

On this list we’ve got novels about ancient Greece, near-future North America and Cold War-era Cádiz, plus nonfiction peeks inside a woodshop, the mind of a Beatle and the making of a classic film.

The film, about the efforts of a group of workers at a Staten Island Amazon warehouse to unionize their colleagues, fits broadly into a lineage of nonfiction classics that includes Oscar winners “Harlan County USA” and “American Factory.”

Each month, we’ll select three nonfiction films — classics, overlooked recent docs and more — that will reward your time.

The service initially housed 350 titles, most of them from the nonfiction space.
