Carl Hiaasen- The downhill lie.
Carl typically writes trashy "read on the beach during vacation" fiction. However this is a non-fiction account of his own struggles with midlife, his relationship with his father, and loss all tangled in the metaphor of trying to play Golf again.
It's comical, sweet, and intelligent in its honesty. Carl just has this way with words that captivates, I guess years of writing trashy novels helped him find a voice, and when he switched to real content it was perfect.
I read it in 2 days, when in a bit of a crisis of faith about 10 years ago. I was around 24, and the target audience is the 35-45 crowd but the lessons were perfect for what I needed at the time. 10/10 would recommend.
