Question

Suggestions for good true-story reading

I prefer to read true-life stories. Just got done Angela's Ashes and T'is and am looking to start something new. (Still have plenty of beach time before the end of summer.) Can anyone suggest something?

I'm partial to the World Almanac and Book of Facts.
Seriously.

I am reading "Stolen Lives" by Malika Oufkir right now. It seems to have all the components for a great real life story. I am only about 100 pages into it but am looking forward to finishing. So I don't know if the whole book is good but thus far an interesting look into Moroccan life.

Sounds good. I've wanted to pick that book up before.

I'm reading Rescuing the Bible From Fundamentalism right now and I'm going to start reading Soldiers of God: With Islamic Warriors In Afghanistan and Pakistan.

The book that the movie "enemy at the gates" was based on is called "War of the Rats" by David Robbins. I started reading it on a plane flight to a business meeting, and the next day I snuck out of a part of the meeting and went back to my hotel room and finished reading it - it was seriously that good.

Read Lance Armstrongs book. It helped me get through my Cancer treatments but I thought it was an amazing story and pretty much anyone would enjoy it.
