I have forgotten many of the writers whose non-fiction and fiction texts I have read. Lauren (If this is cheating or copying, I'm sorry ahead of time but I have to agree with her) reminded me of an intriguing writer whom many of us are familiar with. Richard Preston is amazing. Keep-you-on-edge twists, believable characters, gory images, and real-world diseases all wrapped into one book is almost too much to ask for, but Richard Preston manages it with flying colors. Seriously, if you have a strong stomach (which I did not at the time) and enjoy compelling novels, check out the following books:
- Demon in the Freezer
- The Hot Zone
- Cobra Event
- Panic in Level 4
Cobra Event isn't non-fiction, nor is it about a true real disease, but it is a great book. I think his only two non-fictions are Demon in the Freezer and The Hot Zone. I still have to say Crichton is, well was, the best.
