Good books to read

How about a thread about good books you have read and recommend to others. Her is mine
"Devil in the White City" by Eric Larson
It is about the first worlds fair in Chicago and the politics involved in getting it going. Eric also follows a real life serial murderer at the same time. He flip flops each chapter between the planning of the fair and the Murderer's life. I found if facinating. Maybe because Chicago is just 90 miles from Milwaukee. It is a non-fiction story. Great read.

Now do you have any referals for good reads?
I, myself love biography's and autobiography's - any suggestions in this venue?
