My two favorites:
Helter Skelter: The True Story of the Manson Murders -- Vincent Bugliosi
--It's not so much the murders, it's how the DA's office put it together. I mean this is the same office (Although 25 years earlier) that couldn't put together a case against OJ Simpson. They convicted Manson on murder charges and he wasn't even there.
Rivethead: Tales from the Assembly Line -- Ben Hamper
--Ben Hamper is the guy from "Roger & Me" who goes nuts one day on the assembly line and just leaves work to check himself into an institution. The book is a pretty acurate piece about what it's like to work an assembly line.
I'm from Flint and have done work in the plants, but only for EDS on the helpdesk. My family, however, is full of line workers. The stories they tell are right on par with the one's in the book.
