Oh man, you must have been the one to recommend Vandermeer last time around. A bit late, but thanks a lot for that! I'd be interested in your other recommendations if you have any.
Unfortunately, I can't really recommend anything that fits your interests that you haven't probably heard of. I've recently gone through some Cormac McCarthy, which was pretty good, some essays by Zinn, which were great, and Michel Foucault's history of sexuality series in French. I'd recommend those if you were interested. They aren't cheap on Amazon though, sadly.
Out of the free Kindle books though, The Jungle Book, Treasure Island or a Tale of Two Cities are my next choices. I'm sure you've read them all already though. Or Maybe something by Fred Vargas...
