Travels by capacity of Michael Crichton. (He wrote Jurassic Park, alongside with many different novels.) it incredibly is his autobiography. in this e book, Crichton recounts his reviews and examines the insights he gained into existence as a effect. He tells approximately attending Harvard medical college, mountain climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro, and directing Sean Connery in a action picture, between many different issues. Even people who do no longer look after his fiction can get some thing from this e book. Michael Crichton lead a eye-catching existence that replaced into over a lot too quickly.

A Civil Action is great -- one of the most gripping nonfiction books I've read. It's about a mass tort lawsuit. (The movie with John Travolta is very different from the book, fyi.)

I agree, Fast Food Nation is an awesome book, but only read it if you are ready to stop eating fast food burgers. It cured me of that habit.

I don't have a book, just a recommendation. Choose a band/music group that you like and read a biography on them. If you like them the reading will be easier and it will keep you entertained more.
