I'm not looking for books where blindness figures importantly in the plot, but that's not a deal-killer. I'm fascinated by the idea of being able to experience the world as the author does: without sight.
No real preference with regard to genre. But a really good book would be great 😉
[I'm only just now thinking of Helen Keller, but I'd need some guidance in finding the gems there too.]

Jacob Bolotin (blind from birth) has a great bio: The Blind Doctor by Rosalind Perlman, follows his determination to become a physician in the early 1900s. It’s inspiring without being preachy, shows how he “saw” the world through intellect/touch. Helen Keller’s autobiography is the must-read starter too, her prose captures non-visual beauty amazingly.
