Can't think of the author's name...it's in my room.

The Last True Story I'll Ever Tell By: John Crawford
The Money Men By: H. W. Brands

The first is “A Crime So Monstrous” by E. Benjamin Skinner, a chilling book about modern day slavery in places such as Haiti and Sudan. The second is “Double or Nothing”, an interesting memoir by a guy who bought a casino. The final book is “Our Culture, What's Left of It” by Theodore Dalrymple, a collection of essays.
All three are very worth the time and price.
