I find most non-fiction books boring unless they are about something interesting and comment on that thing in an interesting way. (Covering fascinating major stuff instead of minutiae)

Have you read Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson? It's nonfic but it's an amazing biographical portrait and view on Jobs, from his work at Apple, NeXT, and Pixar, and his personal life.

Not to bandwagon or anything, but my favorites are Hitchiker's Guide series and Animal Farm.

Surprisingly I read Hitchhiker's quite recently in 6th grade.
Funny thing is I'm 13 and in 7th grade, I should be in 8th but for some reason my parents made me start school a year late so I wouldn't be the "youngest in the class".

haha i love trivial things once I read a book about the history of bananas
hundreds and hundreds of people died to get those bananas on your table, feel grateful

good omens is really really great but I feel like the plot is kind of messy
dark lord of derkholm was really good too

How funny because my name seems to refer to the subject matter of the book that you read.
I am history.

Thanks for the story
Anyway I read the original in 5th and The Restaurant at the End of the Universe in my current 6th. So yeah, they're good books.
