05. THE UNCOOL by Cameron CroweTitle: The Uncool
Cameron Crowe recounts his teenage ascent from San Diego prodigy to Rolling Stone writer, chronicling tours with icons like David Bowie and Gregg Allman while staying defiantly outside the era’s sex-and-drugs excesses. The memoir reexamines the real-life experiences that inspired Almost Famous, framing them as a coming‑of‑age story about honesty, fandom, and finding a voice amid rock’s golden age.
06. THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION, I'D LOVE TO TELL YOU by Elyse Myers
Elyse Myers shares a candid, comedic collection of personal essays about awkward encounters, anxious inner monologues, and learning to belong, pairing her stories with hand‑drawn illustrations for an intimate feel. From disastrous dates and a “meat cute” at an Australian butcher counter to cross‑continent moves and panic‑attack escape hatches, she reframes cringe as connection and resilience.
08. RETRIBUTION by Jonathan Karl
Jonathan Karl chronicles the tumultuous 2024 campaign and its aftermath, tracing the collapse of President Biden’s bid, Vice President Harris’s historic run, and Donald Trump’s return to power under a banner of “retribution”. Drawing on inside access, he reconstructs behind‑the‑scenes infighting, strategy shifts, and the rise of a new inner circle organized around settling scores and remaking Washington.
13. EXPENSIVE BASKETBALL by Shea Serrano
Shea Serrano delivers a lively, illustrated collection of essays that celebrates the unquantifiable magic of basketball—moments that feel more like poetry than box score entries. From Kobe Bryant’s final 196 seconds to Sue Bird’s signature backpedal, he spotlights NBA and WNBA icons through infectious fandom rather than analytics.
