For techie non-fiction stuff, I liked both of Kevin Mitnick's books, probably The Art of Intrusion more. They feature (probably slightly fictionalized) stories of creative thinkers who exploited systems, for evil or otherwise. it was very interesting to see how these creative people used their intelligence constructively (or destructively, I suppose).

on a completely non-tech book note, I'm currently reading Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer (author of Everything Is Illuminated) and I'm absolutely loving it! it's beautifully written, filled with humor and tragedy all at once.

just my two cents
