Read any Kurt Vonnegut novels?
I'm reading And Then There Were None right now. I'll recommend The Sun Also Rises by Hemingway. --- http://i.imgur.com/1yl1fH0.jpg the White-Sounding Black Chick ... Copied to Clipboard!

"What it is Like to Go to War" by Karl Marlantes is a book I read in nearly one sitting. He goes into the psychology of being a warrior, and how PTSD didn't strike him until years and years later out of the war when he finally turned that part of himself off. (While trying to survive in combat, all they cared about was winning and keeping as many of "their team" alive. Killing the Vietcong was just a scoreboard for him in combat, because he wanted to survive. Many years later, he suddenly saw the scared and horrified face of a "Vietnamese boy" that he killed in place of the face of all of his coworkers and stuff. It just happened at random.) He talks about how he wishes the military had taught them not just how to kill someone effectively, but the spiritual side of understanding why you have to take a human life, and that that would help veterans better compartmentalize their experience. Really intense stuff.

If you want historical memoir stuff, you absolutely need to check out The Bloody White Baron by James Palmer.

Oh, there's my absolute favorite book that is kinda dumb but awesome anyway.
Salt: A World History by Mark Kurlansky. You want to know about how salt changed the world? The historical significance of salt? The history of salt production? Modern techniques for salt mining?

If you want a good book with all the sad feels I'd suggest The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein. It's a book narrated by a dog.
I liked the Millennium Trilogy by Stieg Larsson. It was absolutely brutal at points and hard to put down. No idea if the 2 new Millennium books are worth a read. --- Never write off the Doctor! ... Copied to Clipboard!

Jurassic Park and The Lost World by Michael Chriton. The books have significantly different portions. The second book ends so much better. Lots of Crichton's stuff is worth a read imo. There's nothing quite like scifi focusing on the pitfalls of technological advancement as written by a paranoid medical doctor. Is it particularly well written? Not always. But it is interesting, and usually easy enough to read at a good pace. He was doing Black Mirror first. I could suggest my top dozen Crichton novels here --- Never write off the Doctor! ...

i like historical memoirs a lot Not exactly historical but I enjoyed Guns, Germs, and Steel by Jared Diamond. It goes over why different regions in the world are now at different development level despite some having a headstart over others. There's also The Circle by Dave Eggers which given our society nowadays, I can almost imagine it being an alternative version of how things could potentially be. --- "You must gather your party before venturing forth" "Go for the eyes Boo!
