Some non fiction books that thoroughly convinced me of their thesis with their rigor: 1. Bottle of Lies - Eban 2. Capital in the Twenty-First Century - Piketty. I will admit this was difficult to push through but by the end of it you really appreciate how he takes so many different angles to prove his point. Type 2 fun for sure. Fiction books with great style: 1. A Deepness in the Sky - Vinge. -- This book is so mind blowingly exceptional I am shocked I don't see it recommended more on these types of questions. Vinge absolutely nails the micro and macro structure of the book. The build up, introduction to and revealing of mysteries, are all perfectly timed to keep you hanging onto every word. 2. All the Light We Cannot See - Doerr 3. Cloud Atlas - Mitchell
