The most interesting and mind-opening non-fiction book I've read recently was The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot. It's told partly as a non-fiction book on how the HeLa cells have contributed to science, and partly as a biography/autobiography on Henrietta Lacks' life and the author's journey uncovering it.
An excellent book, I loved it.
