I have read these multiple times:

A Mother's Reckoning: Living in the Aftermath of Tragedy by Sue Klebold, the mother of Dylan Klebold, one of the Columbine shooters. It's a heavy book.

How much of it is nonfiction is up in the air, but I love Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72 by Hunter S. Thompson. Hunter is sharp and observant and funny as hell. It's eerie how little has changed in American elections in 50 years.
