Unapologetic Lifer for Rock and Roll
Long-overdue to post on here. My last few reads:
Status Anxiety and The Pleasures and Sorrows of Work, both by Alain De Botton. This guy is a keen observer and makes all kinds of cool connections. He just kind of keeps writing the same book, just changes topics, but his method works for me.

Consider the Lobster by David Foster Wallace. Yes, everyone always jumps right to Infinite Jest, with wildly mixed outcomes. The essays are fucking brilliant, and a much better place to start. The guy was a genius.
