You know who you are.
For good reads, try the Troy series by David Gemmell. A writer that can grip you in three words. It just made me ... wish I was there, alive at that time. Even though it's fiction.
Any book by David Gemmell really. Don't be put off that it's science fiction or historical fiction, it's extremely accessible and easy to read.
The Stieg Larsson trilogy. Incredibly shit in its translation but a good story nonetheless.
Primo Levi. Especially after I visited Auschwitz in 2010.
Many wonderful books and wonderful story tellers out there. It's beyond me why some people don't read.
