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

I now spend 90 mins a day on the train and have been starting to read once again. Recommend me some cool non-fiction stuff.

I'll be picking up the Robert Rodriguez book 'Rebel Without A Crew' that Diablo mentioned on another thread, plus Michael Johnson's 'Slaying The Dragon', because he rules.

Gimme some mo'.

Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell. Not only very good, but long too.

The Dark Tower Series by Stephen King. It's so unlike anything he's ever done and it is brilliant IMO. You will thoroughly enjoy it if you decide to read the 7 books, starting with The Gunslinger.

I'm reading "The Historian" right now. It's a pretty cool book about Dracula ... I think it made best seller. Not a lot of action in the book, but somewhat suspenseful. Kinda has a mystery type theme to it. Worth reading

Edit: My bad this is fiction... I should learn to read

Overlooked...

The Philosophy of Punk by Craig O'Hara. (I always say Our Band Could Be Your Life, so I'm switchin it up...)

I just finished the founding text of Creative Non-fiction: Up in the Old Hotel by Joseph Mitchell (not to be confused with Storeys from the Old Hotel by my favorite author of all time: Gene Wolf.)

I just bought Everything and More: A Compact History of Infinity by David Foster Wallace. He's got a new book of nonf coming out next month...should be interesting...

Anyone read the new (non-p***r) Jim MacManus joint?

Right now I'm reading Fabric of the Cosmos by Brian Greene. So far so good.
