Oooh. I'm always looking for a good book.
At this moment I'm reading Puppetmaster: The Secret Life of J. Edgar Hoover. It's "ok". I was interested in the person, and this seemed to be the best bet as I was not sure I wanted to invest in the other 800+ page bios.
Others that immediately come to mind, all worth a read:
The Right Stuff - Tom Wolfe
American Caesar - William Manchester
Boyd: The Fighter Pilot who Changed the Art of War - Robert Coram
Wild Swans: Three Daughters of China - Jung Chang
Lindberg - A. Scott Berg
Looming Tower: Al Queda and the Road to 9/11 - Lawrence Wright
If you like the subject: Life by Keith Richards (et. al.) is great when its great, but there are slow parts.
