The Victorian Internet By Tom Standage, solid read on the history and progression of communication tech up through the dropping of the transatlantic cable. To the point with lots of history I did not know before reading it.

Forever Young by John W. Young; haven't quite finished it yet but its great so far. He is perhaps one of the most prolific astronauts to have served at NASA and has lots of great stories.

Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions By Edwin A. Abbott; Its short but its a solid read (especially considering its age) great thought piece on multidimensional space.
