Into Thin Air - Jon Krakauer

If you like reading adventurous books, i'd recommend it. This one is about the Mt. Everest expedition of a group of people and the disaster that fell upon them.

You're Surely Joking Mr. Feynman - Richard Feynman

This one is collection of events in the life of Feynman. He's mostly known for being a scientist, but he's equally talented in few other areas as well. An interesting and fun book.

Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking - Malcolm Gladwell

Recommended if you are into psychology and knowing how our thoughts and actions are affected by our subconscious.




The sequel to Surely You're Joking Mr. Feynman, titled What Do You Care What Other People Think? is also really good, and includes his account of investigating the Challenger disaster which is worth the read just for that chapter.
