I started started reading Genome: The Autobiography of a Species in 23 Chapters, my first time reading anything by Matt Ridley. Ridley knows how to synthesize a great non-fiction novel from dry scientific facts. In this regard, I think he is similar to Carl Zimmer.

Carl Zimmer can really go into detail about the coolest topics in science while remaining clear and easy to understand. I learned a lot about viruses and evolution in this Big Think Interview with Carl Zimmer on YouTube.
