Re: What is everyone\'s favorite Non Strategy poker story book?
A. Alvarez's "The Biggest Game in Town" is a classic must read.
"Aces and Kings" by Michael Kaplan and Brad Reagan is pretty good, as it profiles some of the past and present big names in poker.
"Bringing Down the House" by Ben Mezrich is another must read gambling book (it's about the MIT Blackjack Team, in case you didn't know).
Another great non-poker, but somewhat relavent, book is "Shibumi" by Trevanian. It's a super read and has some elements of gaming and mindfulness/eastern philosophy which could be applied to poker. I highly recommend this one.
I know you didn't want a strategy book, but I really liked Phil Gordon's "Little Green Book." It's an easy read and has some entertaining qualities along with several useful insights to go along with good basic strategy.
I hope this helps. Time to go play some more to support my book habbit.
