I'm not sure if this qualifies as non-fiction for Vermillion's thread. It IS a pretty straight up biographic portrait, but written as if it was a fiction novel. But fuck it, it's too good a book to be un-recommended due to technicalities. So I'm starting a new thread. 
I just finished the best book I've read in months, if not years. I picked it up at random at my uncle's because the title made me curious.
The Discovery of Slowness by Sten Nadolny is the biographic chronicle of seafarer Sir John Franklin, a remarkable and very, very ...um... different man.
Pick it up if you can, literatis.
And by all means, add your own recommendations.
