All The Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr (2014)

An entrancing, touching, beautiful tale of life and death in world war 2, which despite being somewhat magical and clearly fictional ends up feeling all the more real.

Seeing Like a State by James C. Scott

This historical treatise has a lot of notoriety but I found it unnecessarily dense, and ultimately flawed, in that its focus on states and state power ignores a related discussion of capitalist power, such that altho there is a useful perspective to glean here about how a drive for social legibility can transform a society, I wouldn't recommend the book overall.
