I don't have a summer reading list! Not yet, anyways. So while you all are procrastinating from working, take two seconds and tell me what I should include. Legal, non-legal, fiction, non-fiction, book, not book, it's all good.
So far on my list is the following:
Everything is Illuminated, Jonathan Safran Foer.
The Lunar Men: Five Friends Whose Curiosity Changed the World, Jenny Uglow.
A Court That Shaped America: Chicago's Federal District Court from Abe Lincoln to Abbie Hoffman, Richard Cahan.
The Anarchist in the Library: How Peer-to-Peer Networks Are Transforming Politics, Culture, and the Control of Information, Siva Vaidhyanathan.
To Form a More Perfect Union: A New Economic Interpretation of the United States Constitution, Robert A. McGuire.
Bringing Down the House: The Inside Story of Six MIT Students Who Took Vegas for Millions, Ben Mezrich.
Stealing the Mona Lisa: What Art Stops Us from Seeing, Darian Leader.
Sugar, Mr. Poon? is not on your summer reading list?
Harumph, I say, harumph.
PS - Harumph!
:)
