Read 'Nothing to Envy' by Barbara Demick. Excellent book about survival in North Korea during the famine in the 90s and escaping that same country. You'll probably have to keep notes on the names since they are Korean. It was sorta hard for me to keep track of who was what but other than that, amazing book!

I've always wanted to write one though!

Myself too. I'm actually working on one right now, currently about 190k words long thus far but it's not really meant for public consumption.

I do have plans to write more marketable stories in the future though.
