A few more recommendations:

Donnie Brasco - Joseph D. Pistone - True-life story written by an undercover cop who infiltrated the Mafia. Amazing read, and what makes it even better is that it's all true.

God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater - Kurt Vonnegut
One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest - Ken Kesey

Anything by Ken Follett, John Grisham, or Thomas Perry is also bound to be good.
