I haven’t read many, but one that I really enjoyed was Finding Fish: The Autobiography of Antwonne Fischer. Made into a movie starting Denzel Washington.

“Between the Word and Me” by Ta-Nehisi Coates. This book convinced me that institutionalized racism still exist inside the US.

Endurance: A Year in Space, A Lifetime of Discovery by Scott Kelly. An Astronaut’s Guide to Life on Earth by Chris Hadfield (really cool reading those two close together). Failure Is Not An Option by Gene Kranz (the guy who as the Flight Director for, among other things, the first moon landing and when Apollo 13 exploded).
