I just tore through Charles Bronson's Bronson and loved every page. His writing was terribly honest and he totally comes across as a likeable, decent guy. I've found that I tend to be drawn to the writings of people who are held captive, who are subjected to years of hell yet manage to persevere and keep going. People like Viktor Frankl, Epictetus, Ingrid Betancourt, Haing Ngor, Palden Gyatso, James Stockdale, and Ani Pachen to name the few whose books line my shelves. Next I'm gonna finally read The Fifth Diamond by Irene Zisblatt. But seriously, check out Bronson - it's brilliant and I've more of his work on their way across the Atlantic.
