You can choose nonfiction or fiction, local or international, history, current affairs or even speculative dystopian fantasy.
Pick a smaller topic than POLITICS: Choose economics, or narrow it down to a biography. Drill down to a current social topic.
- Love Hamilton? Try Ron Chernow's biography that inspired it
- Robert Penn Warren won a Pulitzer for this novel of an ambitious governor
- Lincoln's Team of Rivals was a smash hit for Doris Kearns Goodwin
- I was fascinated by How the States Got their Shapes by Mark Stein
- Robert Harris wrote the Cicero series about ancient Roman power struggles
- I mean, if the Hunger Games isn't political I don't know what is
- Radio Free Vermont made me laugh, and reminded me of some neighbors
- YA has lots of politics, because high school is full of evaluating moral values - try The Chocolate War or Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock
