Lynness: Lots of excellent Non-fiction

I've been browsing around Goodreads and have reserved a lot of books at the library (and have come to find out that the maximum number of holds is 15).  Most of them have been non-fiction.  Have you noticed that it's really easy to find engaging non-fiction lately?  I just finished (and thoroughly enjoyed) Traffic: why we drive the way we do (and what it says about us) by Tom Vanderbilt.  Check it out- it may change the way you drive.  I am also reading The Rescue Artist, about the theft and recovery of Edvard Munch's The Scream.  Aside from the language, I like it.  And I've got more real-life and science awaiting!  Really, I think I like non-fiction better than fiction.  Don't get me wrong- I love novels, but you don't learn much from them, and if you've read a few, you've read them all (a la Joseph Campbell, my 10th grade English teacher's idol).
