I am happy to read mostly anything but enjoy something a bit thought provoking or domestic type thrillers.
I hardly ever buy/pick up non fiction so would like to step out of my comfort zone a bit, some autobiographies would be great.
What have you read that you would recommend?

You might like Kerry Daines book The Dark Side of the Mind about her work as a forensic psychologist.

Hallie Rubenfold's book The Five about the lives (not the deaths!) of the women killed by Jack the Ripper is fascinating.
