He's upfront that it's novels only but I really enjoy short difficult non-fiction more.

* Exit, Voice and Loyalty - about how organizations and people work. Easily the best social science book I've ever read

* Art & Fear - gives a much better model for creating software than most books

I don't know about the first one, but Art & Fear is one of the lightest books on my bookshelf. Why do you consider it difficult?

It's likely I projected the complexity onto the Art & Fear. Reading it every few pages I thought about how what it was discussing applied to creating software. But that's not really what the author intended, it's more the mindset I brought to the book
