Yes, nothing better than a book based on real events. I think even those which are not have some kind of autobiography or some kind of an experience the writer lived, the good thing when you read a book is you have limitless imagination to imagen the events written. reading is knowledge and knowledge is the real power 
Do you have any books to recommend?
Sure The Little Prince is an amazing book I highly suggest you to read. if you want more intense literature then Karamasov Brothers you're going to love but remember is intense 
Awesome I think I'll check them out! What kind of books do you like?
Also check out Jonathan Livingston Seagull that book written by Richard Bach will change the way one see life 
What is the last book you read?
Osho Books because they help you control your Ego which he says is your worst enemy because it tortures you all the time making you to compare yourself with others 
I know a lot of people that should read those Osho books... lol
But you have not read any right ..? ha ha well 19th century literature is the best but is so so intense writers like Kafka, Dostoivesky not sure of the spelling Gogol, and others because they wrote about how they saw their world 
You seem to know a lot about books....
A book is your best friend is always there for you
