If you've not already read it, the Theranos expose Bad Blood is pretty gripping.

I found Millennium by Tom Holland a history on the formation of Europe fascinating

Martin Amis' non-fiction is also very readable, his collections of journalism and book reviews The War Against Cliché and The Moronic Inferno are very good.
