Most of the ones I would have recommended have been mentioned - Do No Harm and The Outrun particularly.

I also loved The Salt Path by Raynor Wynn.

So I stayed up to re-read When Breath Becomes Air, still produces tears, an amazing, beautifully moving title.

Also just read Becoming by Michelle Obama.
Alistair Campbells new book How to live better about his depression is very good.
I also love books about the Resistance in WW2- The Women who lived for Danger by Marcus Binney is great- profiles of amazing women.
