What writing isn't "creative"? But anyway...
Some of Joan Didion's images from the White Album have stuck with me through the years: Jim Morrison in vinyl pants. Yikes. And Joan herself doing her grocery shopping in a bikini.
To add to your list:
Stephen J Gould's collections of essays on natural history are fun and enlightening
Bruce Chatwin's In Patagonia
Levi-Strauss' Tristes Tropiques
Alice Kaplan's French Lessons
