I'm going to give you two because I pretty much only read nonfiction and I can't decide.

Outlaws Inc Which is a lot of fun tales of the adventures of post-soviet aerial smugglers.

The other is Topsoil and Civilization which you can request a copy of here. This is about how all (from memory) great civilizations have collapsed in part due to the degradation of their topsoil. Its very good, highly relevant, and many years ago started me on the life path I'm now on
