New book recommendations

In addition to the ones I previously recommended, I am particularly enjoying a new one, authored by a former colleague at work, Ron Kemper, entitled The Coincidental Life. It is a fictionalized version of his own life experiences I suspect, growing up in Brooklyn during the late the 50's and extending into the turbulent 60's. Perhaps it is just the era that we shared, but I find the characters, the experiences, life's lessons really resonate with my own despite the fact that I grew up in rural California where the racial, ethnic, and societal divides were much different but the tensions and experiences very similar.
