I read "Unbroken"---a gripping (true) saga of an Olympic runner's experiences in WWII as a Japanese POW and afterwards. An intense read, not a light and bubbly beach book. I liked it very much---learned after reading it that Laura Hillenbrand (who wrote "Seabiscuit") never met the main character, Louis Zamperini. She rarely leaves her home and interviewed him over the phone...and, of course, did extensive research.
