"Papillon" by Henri Charriere. Memoir. Details his wrongful conviction for murder and series of escape attempts from French penal colonies in the 1930s.
"A Recognition of Being: Reconstructing Native Womanhood" by Kim Anderson. A collection of first hand interviews with Aboriginal Elders. Talks about the changing role of the female in aboriginal culture. Wonderful book!
And currently... "Out of the Depths" by Isabelle Knockwood. A book which relates the experiences of aboriginal children in a Residential School. (This was back when Aboriginal people had no voting rights. Children were removed from their homes and placed in schools with the primary thought to "Un-Indian" them. Parents had no right to intervene... they and their children were 'wards' of the Federal government. My grandmother and father went through such institutions. I have heard their stories first hand, so this is proving a VERY difficult book to get through.)

A portugese cookbook, which was about cooking, and then the TV times, which is about what shows on next :P
I'm not much on non-fiction, I read books to let my mind go free and wander in the land of make believe to calm it's tightly tethered soul and smell the sweet breeze of the madness the world could be if only fiction were real

I can only think of the one... I typically read fiction. I read "Freakonomics" by Levit and Dubner. It's about how statistics can show you strange things... like there are more deaths at homes where a person has a pool than there are at homes where a person owns a gun. Stuff like that... really interesting...
