Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson was pretty good, for an autobiography. Dude who decides to build girls' schools in Pakistan after a mountain-climbing accident out there.

Did you want just biographies/autobiographies or any non-fiction books?
Thanks TFB, that one sounds interesting.

I'm after anything that is true life I guess. I used to read a book a day before I had kids though haven't read much lately, now that I'm getting back into reading I can't get into fiction for some reason.

Thanks Zazou, Into the Wild is one of my all time favourites, off to google the rest
