Hey, I like learning about real life people, and the less like boring ol me they are, the better. I particularly like learning about people on the fringes of society. I like stories about outlaws, drug dealers, drug users, alcoholics, eccentrics, “crazies”, unusuals, transients, free thinkers, revolutionaries, thought leaders, and like the title says: outsiders, outcast, and outlaws. Please let me hear your suggestions
My main other interest are: science, music, and sports.
Edit: recently read “One of a Kind” the autobiography about the poker play Stu Ungar. I don’t care about poker but this was a good book.

I’m not sure but I think both of these books may be along the lines of what you’re looking for. These are not outlaws but eccentrics, unusuals, and free thinkers:
1. The Valley Of The Assassins by Freya Stark
2. My Journey to Lhasa: The Classic Story of the Only Western Woman Who Succeeded in Entering the Forbidden City by Alexandra David-Neel
