The Right Stuff and other non-fiction...

Great book by Tom Wolfe that was also turned into a more than decent film.
His documentary books are all enjoyable, but I have so far only read one of his novels.

On the subject of non-fiction you should read some of the great Doctor's works - Hunter S. Thompson - the man who put the we into weird. Plenty of drug references, but the Great White Shark Hunt and the Fear and Loathing books are cult classics for a reason.

As the man said, "When the going get weird, the weird turn pro."
