Carrying the Fire by Michael Collins. Written three years after Apollo 11 (with 40th and 50th Anniversary introductions).
Very entertaining read. Collins is a gifted writer and who doesn't like a great Apollo program book, written at the time?

A book I highly recommend not reading unless you do so for morbid curiosity is “Three Feet to the Left”. About a United Captain’s recent “upgrade journey growth experience.” Supposed to be a business planning motivational type book. Throws all the United furloughees under the bus while chalking up his upgrade to superior planning and decision making. Absolutely tone-deaf garbage book, that was embarrassingly bad to read.
