How about "The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down," by Anne Fadiman.
Nonfiction about a Hmong child with severe seizures and how Western and
Asian medicine, culture, and practice tried to come together to try to
save her life.
Or
"The Kite Runner," by Khaled Hosseini. Fiction book about
self-redemption, really. But also about current political decisions at
the national and personal level regarding Afghanistan.
or
"Imperial Life in the Emerald City," by Rajiv Chandrasekaran.
Nonfiction book about a year inside the Green Zone in Iraq, written by
the former Baghdad bureau chief for the Washington Post. Lots of social
psychology in there!:-)
All of these prove to be provocative reads (in the best sense).
