Use the nonnegative increasing truncations $f_n=x^{-2}{1}_{[1/n,1]}$. They increase almost everywhere to the specified function. On each compact interval the continuous function has equal Riemann and Lebesgue integrals, so the fundamental theorem of calculus givesMonotone convergence yields $\int f=+\infty$. Since a nonnegative function is Lebesgue integrable exactly when its integral is finite, this function is not Lebesgue integrable.
