You seem to express an interest in non-fiction that would reconcile science and the humanities. I'm now in the midst of a book,
The Hedgehog, The Fox, and the Magister's Pox Mending the Gap Between Science and the Humanities by Stephen Jay Gould

It also explores the two ways these two disciplines view the world. Here's a review of the book in case you're interested:
