The Diving Bell and the Butterfly by Jean-Dominique BaubyThe memoir of the editor-in-chief of French Elle magazine who following a massive stroke, is left with locked in syndrome, where he is left totally paralyzed and speechless, and is only able to communicate by blinking a single eye-lid.
The book is only short but the story he dictates is absolutely phenomenal, as while he describes the horrors of his condition, he is also able to use his imagination to live a new life.
Would totally recommend reading it as it gives you that "sad but inspired" feeling afterwards.
Worst books: Lee Child's Jack Reacher series.

I quite like the Lee Child books.They're stupid, but they're fun. I think they're the guy version of chicklit.
