I also read a very good book on Einstein that I found fascinating.

But I'm also not much of a non-fiction reader.

Well, unless it travel related, in which case I devour all kinds of travel info!
I read tons of non-fiction, mainly politics and history. But some of it really is too dry to bear. I thought I'd really enjoy Kenneth Harl's Coinage in the Roman Economy, being a topic I'm really interested in, but couldn't plow through to the end.
