Hello guys,

I'm looking for a good read. Thing is I don't like reading novels. I'm looking for books with information that can be applied in real life - I know that's kind of fuzzy but that really is all I'm looking for. The more information and the less blahblah, the happier I am.

Usually I read basic science textbooks - chemistry, economy, electrical engineering; stuff like that, but I'm kind of in a hole.

Any good reads that match my descriptions?
Any excellent/unconventional textbooks, or books about topics that I wouldn't come up with myself?

Or just good non-fiction books that REALLY mean something to you?

Pic unrelated.
