Apart from the usual academic history stuff:
Flannery O'Connor, Wise Blood. Hazel Motes has to be one of the strangest and most unusual characters in American literature.
John Baskin, New Burlington: The Life and Death of an American Village. Baskin explores life in a 1970s Ohio village that was abandoned to allow construction of a dam.
T.H. Breen, Imagining the Past: East Hampton Histories. A great model for thinking about a how a professional historian does local history. This is my third go-around with this book.
