ESCAPE FROM CAMP 14:

"One man's remarkable odyssey from North Korea to freedom in the West" (2012) by Blaine Harden

It reads more like a story than a biography. I do have a fiction book also checked out to read when I'm done with this, "Rogue Warrior: Dictator's Ransom" (2008), by Richard Marclinko, and a non-fiction, "The Impossible State: North Korea, Past and Future" (2012) by Victor Cha.

The Legends of King Arthur and His Knights. I dunno if that qualifies.

You might be able to find a home for that post in Creative Speculation. - The Holy Grail and all that .

It doesn't fit into fiction that well, because of the historical background, but I'm no expert, so whatever you did suits me fine...

Here in South Korea I have gone to some lectures where North Korean refugees have given first accounts of their life and escaping the country. No Ordinary Country and the Aquariums of Pyongyang were good as well.
