           I wasn't looking for books about the law in particular; just books that would be useful for us to read in this stage of our lives (be they about law or not), books that as a teacher you think your students should read and know as part of their "education", books that impacted you and you want to share with others, or just books that are interesting- that are good stories. Basically, exactly what is happening in this thread.

 Great topic! I don't know if it's the kind of book you're looking for, but the His Dark Materials series made me cry like a baby.

 Meagan, I love Michael Pollan. In Defense of Food is high up on my to-read list. And Agnes, the His Dark Materials books are the best! I think I read all of them in about three days.

>		           There are so many great suggestions here! I haven't read any of the books in this article, 15 Summer Reads Handpicked By Indie Booksellers, but it was forwarded to me and I thought I would share it.

           My recommendations are In Our Time by Ernest Hemingway, Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris, and The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas. (I also second The Master and Margarita.)

           Olu (from my first paper) recommends The Art of War by Sun Tzu and The Book of Five Rings by Miyamoto Musashi.

           Alex- I have tried but never been able to get through Crime and Punishment or The Brothers Karamazov (or Anna Karenina for that matter) but I am going to try and give them another go this summer.

           Arlene, if you liked Are You My Mother, I would recommend Jimmy Corrigan: The Smartest Kid on Earth by Chris Ware
