A Fever in the Heartland by Timothy Egan
True story of how the Ku Klux Klan grew in Indiana in the 1920s. I had no idea there were over 300,000 Klansmen and women and even children who were focused not only on Blacks, but also Catholics, Jews, and any immigrants. Sadly the parallels between the 1920s and current times are scary, and shows how hatred and fear can be so destructive. Highly recommend this fact-filled book.

Moving Pictures by Terry Pratchett
There’s no overarching plot to Terry Pratchett’s Discworld Series, just an increasing complexity to a fantastical parody of our world. It’s hilarious, insightful, and among my all-time favorites, though it can be a little daunting to begin. Moving Pictures is one of a few good starting points, riffing on early Hollywood as the Industrial Revolution slowly changes everything.
