Have you read "This Way to the Gas, Ladies and Gentlemen"? If you appreciate Holocaust work, it's a must read, in my opinion. Primo Levi's "Survival In Auschwitz" is also phenomenal, but "This Way..." held something more gripping for me.

"Tattooist of the Auschwitz" is also an excellent read.

Yes, or really anything by LeCarre.

Vietnam books: Matterhorn. by Karl Marlantes
War on Terror books: The 9/11 Wars by Jason Burke

I love autobiography's....reading Andre Agassi book "Open". Its really good, sometime hard to read because of his story. Half way through it.

Graphic novels: Watchmen

History: American Moonshot: John F Kennedy and the Great Space Race

I honestly only got halfway through it till I had to return it to the library as I didn't get to finish it in time.

I picked up from this thread's recommendations:

Finance: When Genius Failed

Kingdom of Ice

This way to the gas. That is a chilling title. I will have to make a trip to the library.

How does Danny Hart sit down with balls that big?

The best.

Sci-Fi ( I do not read sci-fi but my wife insisted I read this one): The Arc of the Scythe by Neal Shusterman. "Scythe" is the first one, "Thunderhead" is the second and the third "The Toll" is coming in November. Excellent reading.

Not necessarily hidden gems...
