Plenty and I love many of them, but this list bothers me. They are almost all fiction. There are no books about actual life, our the even the non-human physical world and universe.

Start with Bryson’s short history of everything. Ascend to Dan Dennets Darwin’s Dangerous Idea, or Hawkings A Brief History of Time.
