We all read books, articles, white papers and posts. From "ABC" to "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance". I've picked three to kickstart this.
I'll start off with an old time favourite of mine, "The Cuckoo's Egg" by Clifford Stoll, originally published in 1989, way before the shenanigans from Edward Snowden (whether you agree with his actions or not). It's a story of espionage, laced with intrigue and intricate obfuscation.
If your interest is in data privacy and the use of big data, how it's collected and how free services are paid for, "Data and Goliath" by Bruce Schneier gives a good account.
One thing that disagrees with me more than most, are useless or misleading metrics and statistics. "How to Measure Anything in Cyber Security Risk" by Hubbard & Seiersen is a more practical and technical tome, that has some good ideas of what, how to measure and represent infosec risk.
A quick search on your search engine of choice will bring up plenty of references on the above. I think they're well worth reading.
