Iron Coffins by Herbert Werner would probably be the first suggestion by many here. I recommend it as well, but it has been proven (by Dr. Juergen Roewher) that alot of the experiences that Werner calls personal happened to someone else. So take his experiences with a grain of salt...they are true experiences by u-boat crew, but not necessarily his own.
Operation Drumbeat by Michael Gannon is also a good choice. It is a pseudo-biography of Reinhard Hardegen and his time aboard the famous U-123 and its two Paukenschlag patrols off the US East Coast.
A wonderful little book on a vast array of u-boat experiences is U-boat Adventures by Melanie Wiggins. I heartily recommend this one!! I have had the pleasure of corresponding with many of the men featured.
