I prefer autobiographies to fictional books. Can't think of any good ones I've read recently.
Frank Skinners is pretty good though, as is Ricky Tomlinsons. Alan Hansens was a decent read as well.

OMG I have not read that in about 20 years!
I'll probably change my mind every time when asked, but here it goes for now:
Plato's Apology or Candide by Voltaire I can't decide between the two.
@ SunshineSuperman
I'm a mixture of surprised and impressed that you listed Kant. I found him hard going, and have never managed to read the whole of anything he's written.
