I’m about through the major works of Jon Krakauer and looking for things in a similar vein. I really have never read nonfiction for fun before his stuff. I’m drawn to the interesting subject matter, journalistic, veining nature of how he explores topics, and especially to his tendency to give human/moral interpretations on things. Nonfiction has occasionally turned me off in the past because I find the history textbook nature of some writing to be dull, but I like hearing a human voice in writing. I’m thinking I’ll take on In Cold Blood soon.

[The works of *New Yorker* reporter David Grann ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Grann) might slake your non-fiction thirst.
Totally agree re; the David Grann suggestion posted earlier. Also, you’ll be super impressed and surprised by The Last American Man by Elizabeth Gilbert. It’s extraordinary. https://www.elizabethgilbert.com/books/the-last-american-man/
Take a look a Sebastian Junger.
Erik Larson.
