Yay :smile:
In my honest opinion, a person can't go wrong with almost any of the books written by Jon Krakauer. I didn't much care for Eiger Dreams, but loved everything else of his. Especially Into a Thin Air, Under the Banner of Heaven, Into the Wild, and Where Men Win Glory.
Eric Schlosser is another good author. I've read Fast Food Nation and am currently reading Command and Control. This one is about the development and proliferation of nuclear weapons, accidents at a Titan II ICBM missile silo in Arkansas, and the illusion of safety. It's written in a way that is not all boring high tech geek.
If you are the type who loves creepy and weird, one of the most interesting books Ive read is Frozen by Larry Johnson. It was about his time working at Alcor...that cryogenics place in Arizona that believes you can be cryogenically frozen upon death and then reanimated at a later date. Your whole body, just your head...it's apparently all good. As I said, creepy as hell...but a damned good read if you like the weird and bizarre.
