One of my favorite non-fiction authors is Mary Roach. She picks a topic and gathers all kinds of detailed and odd information about it, often covering the kinds of details that the genuinely curious find fascinating.
Stiff is about what humans do with the dead remains of other humans, including her visit to the body farms where scientists figure out the cascade of beetles, bugs and grubs invade the remains.

Basically, I think everything she writes is worth reading if you write fiction.
Thanks for the recommendation! It's on Kindle Unlimited, so I just snagged it for "FREE".
I'd recommend anything by Mary Roach. She delves into the "WHY's?" and curious little bits of background information while having a lot of fun.

There really is so very little known about sex that anything you might think validates a stand has probably not been researched as much as you think.
If it's readable nonfiction in general that you like (as opposed to an economics bent), definitely check out Mary Roach, a science writer. She writes about oddball topics like cadavers in Stiff, sex studies in Bonk, or space travel in Packing for Mars.
