I am looking for a new book to read. Have any favorites? I do NOT like fantasy. Fiction or non-fiction books are good. I need ideas!!

Team of Rivals by DK Goodwin about A. Linclon and his presidency.
An American Tragedy by Dreiser. Fictionalized account of a real-life early 20th century murder.
Emperors of Chocolate by Brenner about Mars and Hershey, the chocolate companies. You'll never look at a M&M the same way again.
