Summer Reading

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.

And here I was feeling proud that I might be able to thumb through a copy of People sometime this summer.
