Reading for information...

What’s the most informative book you’ve read recently?Chamber's Dictionary, I suppose. The best dictionary ever, and I'm always delving into it.
But I tend not to think of books as 'informative'. Newspapers are informative. I read for knowledge, not information, and in my mind, there's a difference. If I want information, I look it up online now, usually - Wikipedia, Googling it, online references. That's not what I read books for.
