I love his books! You might check out Joel Achenbach too - https://www.simonandschuster.com/authors/Joel-Achenbach/1162553

It's been a while, but I think Max Barry came up with Global Unified Deity in Jennifer Government (great book, by the way)

Gene Weingarten - One Day: The Extraordinary Story of an Ordinary 24 Hours in America.

I seem to gravitate towards journalists: Tracy Kidder, Erik Larson, Sarah Vowell, Joel Achenbach, Jon Krakauer, Joe Starita, Mary Roach
