Hey comrades, I'm looking for some non-fiction book recommendations that aren't explicitly Marxist, but still interesting or engaging or entertaining.

I've re-read a lot of my favorites too many times, so what are your faves? Any topic really.

I do enjoy a good disaster book, last one I read was Krakauer's into thin air, which was really entertaining. I'll check some of these out.
