35.13: Detroit: An American Autopsy, by Charlie LeDuff (iBook 2013)

Eddie and I read this book together when driving on trips out of the area. (I read aloud while he drives, our version of an audiobook.) As a native Detroiter, LeDuff's combination memoir and journalistic report provides a gritty, honest, depressing, uplifting, and insightful look into a failing city. You'll likely love or hate LeDuff and/or the book; we leaned toward the first.
