Nonfiction that I thought was uneven, but worthwhile (YMMV):

Fluke: Chance, Chaos, and Why Everything We Do Matters
by Brian Klaas

Exploration of the idea that small, essentially random details are what determine our lives and history itself.

Joe, You Coulda Made Us Proud
by Joe Pepitone

Memoir of a baseball player's childhood abuse, promising but never-quite-great career, and more sex and booze per page than the Mötley Crüe book. Very flawed man. Celebrity cameos.

Our Migrant Souls: A Meditation on Race and the Meanings and Myths of “Latino”
by Héctor Tobar

Essays, with some truly challenging ideas here and there. I can't decide if the memoir aspects make the book better or worse.
