Hi /lit/, I'm used to reading non fiction books mostly dealing with biology or alike and I have been wanting to read something new but still non fiction. I checked the recommended reading and so far I pulled out "What Matters Most" by Bukowski and "Fear and Loathing" by Thompson. What else would you recommend that's in any way similar to those ?

Get into the Beats. "Big Sur," perhaps.

As far as journalism is concerned: We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed with Our Families by Philip Gourevitch. It's about the Rwandan genocide.
