| I read All Aunt Hagar’s Children recently and was wondering what other non-political books you all enjoyed that take place in DC or the DC area. Can be fiction or non-fiction. |

These might not be everyone's cup of tea, but he definitely knows DC. George Pelecanos, former writer on The Wire and DC Native among other things.
