Some may be more in the sub-category, as most of mine are Sci-Fi.
Reincarnation/Afterlife/Death(I know, morbid)-Replay by Ken Grimwood, Reincarnation Blues
Alternate History-11-22-63, Rewinder Series, Man in the High Castle. I’m actually looking for some good recommendations here, particularly the time around the American Revolution.
Time Travel-Unhappenings, In Times Like These Series, Gift of Time
Baseball-Moneyball, Ahead of the Curve, The Game, The Arm, The Baseball Codes(Great book that does a great job of chronicling “unwritten rules” and providing examples). I could go on and on with Baseball books.
This is certainly not an extensive list, but some of my favorites.
