    Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies, New Edition

    Dark Star Safari: Overland from Cairo to Capetown
     Author: Paul Theroux

    Shantaram: A Novel

    Administering first aid in a Bombay slum, selling fake passports and running guns to the Mujahideen in Afghanistan. Technically a novel, but closely linked to the Author's own experiences. Fantastic read.
