I want to read a Book?

Hi, I have been looking for a book to read but cant find any! I hate fiction. All books seem either depressing or filled with love or relationship crap. I want to read something enlightening that doesnt leave me feeling dumber afterwards. Cant be about friendship, war or whatever either. I am fascinated by philosophy and the universe. Please suggest something. Havent read a book in years and want something to do.

Update:

I also hate religion

Update 2:

No mention of intercourse as well

    OK, read the Nicomachean Ethics by Aristotle. It's philsophy and it's largely about friendship.
