Do you ever like non-fiction books about a subject you have some expertise in?
I know Calculus so Strogatz's Infinite Powers created no interest in me. On the other hand What is Mathematics by Courant and Robbins was a delightful read.
Similarly I have only read a part of Road to Reality by Penrose and it was also fascinating.
