Against the Grain (James C. Scott)
It's about early civilization, taxes and slavery, and food crops.

On The Road (Jack Kerouac)
Stream of consciousness from the point of view of someone kind of insane and drug addled. Just a bad book about a bad person that has no good reason to read it. My entire high school class rebelled against that book (and also Beloved, which I don't remember much of but also don't recommend).
