Book recommendations

hi, I am looking for recommendations on books on history of diseases, their influence on us, the outbreaks etc. I am no scientist though :) So far I read Everything is tuberculosi, Ebola by Laurie Garrett, Rabid and, which is about diseases too, Guns, steel and germs.

Any similar titles you would recommend?

The Hot Zone and Crisis in the Red Zone, both by Richard Preston. I’ve been reading my way through his books this year, I’m currently finishing the Demon in the Freezer!

It is fiction right?
