The big short - Michael Lewis, probably my favorite ever book have re-read this many times
Moneyball - Michael Lewis, great book on Baseball which i know next to nothing about engrossed from page 1 onward
Rough Ride - Paul Kimmage, probably the 1st firsthand account of drugs in cycling from a rider competing
Dopesick: Dealers, Doctors and the Drug Company that Addicted America - Beth Macy, firsthand account of the opioid epidemic in America from a journalist in one of the hot spots in Appalachia
The Looming Tower - Lawrence Wright, about the rise and beginnings of Al Queda and the FBI and CIA missing key issues that pointed to 9/11
Empireland - Sathnam Sanghera, a critical look at the role empire played in shaping Great Britain
I am a bit of a Michael Lewis fanboy I have read everything he has written, i would recommend the above books mostly but Liars Poker by him is superb also, also except for Rough Ride and the Michael Lewis books i read the rest because i watched a TV show that were loosely based around or fully based on the books and wanted to fill in the missing pieces from the TV shows.
+1 for the Kimmage book, it is an amazing read. There also is a great book on the same subject by
Peter Winnen, the german title translates to "Letters from Alpe d'Huez", i don't know if there is an english translation around.
non-fiction books i enjoyed recently or are on my list:
"Homelands" - Timothy Garton Ash, a observation of after-WW2 Europe
"Talking to my daughter about the economy" - Yanis Varoufakis, the guardian calls it "a history of capitalism"
"Honor thy father" - Guy Talese, a portrait of the Bonnano mob family of NY
"Groucho, Harpo, Chico an sometimes Zeppo" - Joe Adamson, a biography of the Marx Brothers, almost as funny and crazy as a Marx Brothers movie
