The Other Wes Moore.
I'm reading it now, had to do it for summer reading - school starts Thursday. It's a really awesome book about choices and the paths people take. The contrast between the two guys is amazing. One is practically a cadet commander in the military - the other is a god damn drug lord. You have to read it to understand, but it's great. I had my doubts at first but I love it, really interesting.
Oh, and it's all a true story. Not based on a true story, everything in it is factual.
