Zeitoun by Dave Eggers. A sad story about a guy named Zeitoun in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina. Wars, Guns, and Votes: Democracy in Dangerous Places by Paul Collier. Someone smart thinks about how to move failed states toward democracy in such a way that it sticks. Dreams from My Father by Barack Obama. A good memoir, but particularly interesting because he wrote it before he was famous. Cliff Walk by Don Snyder. An English professor gets fired and becomes a carpenter. Great if academia irritates you.
