I can think of a couple of significant non-fiction fav's.
"Godel, Escher, Bach" by Douglas Hofstadter
"Guns, Germs, and Steel" by Jared Diamond
"Hell's Angels" by Hunter S Thompson (though you never know about its veracity)
"The Occult" by Colin Wilson
Do these count? -- The Oxford English Dictionary and the The Chicago Manual of Style
