I will preface, that I do not read non-fiction, other than a handful (some Mark Twain, and the Daemon/Freedom Tm series by Daniel Suarez, both of which were awesome, and I really liked Little Brother and Makers by Corey Doctorow); I too, like to break up my technical manuals, with good non-fiction, in no particular order these are some that are in my collection you may like:
Fatal System Error
Founders at Work
Masters of Deception
Cuckoo's egg (one of my favs)
Art of Social Engineering
The Watchmen
Hackers: Heroes of the Computer revolution (new one put out by O'reiley)
The Art of Intrusion (loved)
The Art of deception (meh)
As you can see mostly security related.
Most of the books on the list, do have a lot of "should read" qualities in there, but also fall heavily into the "want to read" category.
