Try 'World War Z' if you've ever enjoyed a Romero film, or like zombies at all. If Kipling isn't too rich then Kim is one of the best books ever written or for an interesting autobiography try 'Surely you're joking, Mr Feynman' which is the story of the physics genius who helped develop the Bomb and also solved the mystery of the Challenger explosion, he's a very funny writer and it's a lot more fun than it doubtless sounds
World War Z sounds good, may give that a whirl, I love Romero ('cept his latest offering) Just finished Lance Armstrong's autobiography, and The Shine of Jeffrey Dahmer. Fruitcake...
