Man I loved that book. Critical thinking should be taught in school.
Non-fiction and Bible don't really go hand in hand. Even if they did, it would be a really graphic book and not really one for pleasure. Maybe you would like history around that time period?
I don't care about the Bible, it's just an expression. I think.
Ah, so do you mean like some kind of Encyclopedia?
Sort of. It's a real expression (at least in England :P) meaning a "must-have" book, usually related to some subject/profession. For example, I'd consider Everyday Cryptography by Keith Martin the cryptographer's Bible. Even after going through it all, it's helpful for reference.

Great and relevant book
Master Handbook of Acoustics—lives up to its name.
Behave by Sapolsky. I have not finished it yet. I did see his lectures though. But this is my bible. I love Sapolsky.
The Art of War, Tao Te Ching, and the Art of Learning. They're heavy reads, except Art of Learning is more of a biography of a really competitive guy.
