non-fiction and crime huh?

might i suggest this?

it's basically "the wire" in book form (in fact, it is written by the same people), very well-written, one of the best non-fiction books i know yet more thrilling than many crime novels out there. also it's a brick (around 550 pages) so it will last you a couple nights.

Its a bit of a strange read, but I like it.

Also been planning on reading Flatland, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

For cloak and dagger wizard action, try the Dresden Files. For geek culture references to the number 42, try the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. For a book that is better than the movie everyone has seen, try the Princess Bride. Honorable mentions: Miss Peregrines Home for Peculiar Children, Enders Game, and Homestuck. That last one is a trap - don't fall in.

I'm going to ignore your genre preferences and plug the only two books I was interested in enough to read on my own time.

I may actually read them again now that I can remember the details of the stories.
