- 1984 (or course)
- Brave New World (of course)
- Starship Troopers
- Ender's Game
- The Moon is a Harsh Mistress (heck, just insert all of Heinlein here).
- Fahrenheit 451
- Enemies Foreign and Domestic (trilogy)

The Gulag Archipelago
Behold a Pale Horse
haha all of Tolkien, before it's banned (or "modernized")
Luckily I have local copies of those.
I thought this book was astounding.
Weird Scenes Inside The Canyon: Laurel Canyon, Covert Ops & The Dark Heart Of The Hippie Dream David McGowan
the following book was pretty out there - but a good listen.
Battle Hymn: Revelations of the Sinister Plan for a New World Order by John Scura, Dane Phillips.
A Thousand Miles to Freedom: My Escape from North Korea. Eunsun Kim
A great story to escape from reality in:
The way of kings: Brandon Sanderson
Theft of Swords: Michael J. Sullivan. Excellent fantasy/magic series
Ready Player One: Ernest Cline. Only if you grew up in the 80's playing computer games....
Anything by Patrick Buchanan
There are a few listed here:

One of my favorite non-fiction to get people to at least read a couple of pieces out of is Forbidden Archeology- which is basically written like a text book just filled with archeological finds that don't fit in, and sometimes absolutely refute the agreed upon consensus of science and history.
I've won over a couple of "Believe The Science" like people with it. Also, it's thick af, so it also makes a good weapon for personal defense if nothing else is handy.
Sounds interesting. I'll give them a look. I enjoy reading about that kind of thing even if I look at it with a skeptical eye.
go for Jordan Peterson's recommended reading.

it's not necessarily "MAGA" but certainly some of the best books ever written.
I've read a few of those. I think The Road to Wigan Pier is one I should probably prioritize. I'm currently working my way through "Exposing the Real Che Guevara: And the Useful Idiots Who Idolize Him" which is interesting but it's a bit of a tough chew.
"Ten Little Riggers" by Agatha Christie
