Hey /lit/

Fiction hasn't been holding my attention lately, as much as it used to at least. I'm looking for some recommendations on non-fiction, specifically essays or essay collections. School is starting to ramp up so I don't have a ton of time to read. Just read Voices from Chernobyl recently and loved it. And though I haven't read any of DFW's fiction I've really enjoyed his essays.

What good essayists or essay collections should I check out?

I'll bump with an essay I enjoyed recently.

The Devils Bait is about Morgellons disease (a skin condition that causes lesions, crystal and fiber growth, and the sensation of bugs and parasites under the skin,) and the shared delusion of those who think they have it.

Have you read Slouching Towards Bethlehem yet? Didion is one of the best American essayists imo.
