Ooh, ooh! I recommend:

The Worst Hard Time by Timothy Egan - This is a great book about what life was like during the Dust Bowl, some of the causes behind the massive dust storms, and their effect on every day life. This was extremely educational to me.

Nothing to Envy by Barbara Demick - An incredibly insightful read on the living conditions and average lifestyle of North Koreans. Through research combined with numerous interviews of NK refugees, Demick is able to partially pull back the curtain that shrouds that cut off country.
