I have just finished The Envoy, The Long Night and A Stolen Life. All I would recommend but with a word of caution that A Stolen Life is sexually graphic in places. The Envoy and The Long Night reveal some interesting insights into Nazi Germany from some who lived thru it. Recommendations would be appreciated.

History of my life by Jacques Giacomo Casanova

He wrote it on his deathbed, very good writer and story teller. He writes the book in first person and it is truly an enjoyment to read and learn from.
Casanova was a very intelligent fellow!!
