Papillon by Henri Charriere. Good movie, amazing book.
Go Boy by Roger Caron. Canadian classic.
Jack Rabbit Parole by Stephen Reid another Canadian classic.
The Gulag Archipelago by Aleksandr Isayevich Solzhenitsyn, Nobel prize, Though I would get the abridged 700page version.
Memoirs from the House of the Dead by Dostoevsky, believe it or not this is his easiest and most cheerful read
The aquariums fo Pyongyang by Kang Cheol Hwang. quite interesting people livin' here
