Glad you wanted non-fiction suggestions because I'vet not been albe to read ficion in over ten years-don't have the patience for novels, I guess But here's a couple of books
I've enjoyed:
Keith Richards' autobiography 'Life'' Really good for guilty pleasures
'
Michael Lewis, 'The Big Short, explains the financial meltdown in 'laymans' terms.
Mark Booth's 'The Secret History of the World tmysetl', can't decribe it myself so Ill let Amazon do the talking t''hIn this groundbreaking and now famous work, Mark Booth embarks on an enthralling intellectual tour of our world's secret histories. Starting from a dangerous premise?that everything we've been taught about our world's past is corrupted, and that the stories put forward by the various cults and mystery schools throughout history are true?Booth produces nothing short of an alternate history of the past 3,000 years.
From Greek and Egyptian mythology to Jewish folklore, from Christian cults to Freemasons, from Charlemagne to Don Quixote, from George Washington to Hitler?Booth shows without a doubt that history as we know it needs a revolutionary rethink, and he has 3,000 years of hidden wisdom to back it up.''
