Read Dan Millman's books. Dan was an Olimpic gymnist who crushed his leg in an accident. But, he came back to participate in the Olympics when everyone accept his spiritual teacher told him that he could not do it. His books are novels but based on his true story. Very inspirational....And, he is a nice man too.
Good luck on your journey of books......

I have recently become enthralled with Erik Larsen's books which are novelized non-fiction. Isaac's Storm follows the true story of the local weather man who forcast clear skies the day the hurricare hit Galveston. Devil in the White City chronicles the design and building of the Chicago World's Fair and a serial killer that dance throughout the process. Finally, Thunderstruck reveals the story of Marconi and his wireless and how the technology allowed both sides of the Atlantic to follow news of a murderer trying to escape. Excellent historical detail with riveting prose.
