Default Re: Recommend me some cool books (non-fiction please!!!)

OK, so it's not exactly non-fiction, but Devil in the White City by Erik Larson is a pretty interesting read. It intertwines the drama surrounding the 1893 Chicago World's fair (and its design/construction, an amazing feat at the time) with the fictionalized account of a real-life serial killer who was at large during that time.

Edit: Freakonomics was also a pretty fun read.
