Just finished up Orange is the new Black on Netflix, so now I'm going on a bit of a prison book kick.
In the lineup:
I expect the last two books will be pretty brutal and harrowing.

Warrior, Ariel Sharon's autobiography.
Naked propaganda and a whole bunch of excuses for committing blatant war crimes by terrorizing civilians.
This was offset by an indepth look at the Six Day War, Yom Kippur, etc. Sharon was a military genius, with ideas way ahead of his time - defense in depth, the utility of shock and awe, modern officer training, the importance of understanding terrain and topography. He mastered these concepts and explains them very well.
7/10. Once you get past his racism and monstrous political beliefs, it is a very interesting and informative read.

Currently reading this. Not bad, and has a few great moments. Marc is definitely a piece of neurotic work, which he isn't shy about admitting to. Very self-deprecating.
