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.

Agreed! I picked up Eliot Aronson's "The Social Animal," which is great, but can't remember enough other book recommends from the class.

One of my favorite books is The Dancing Wu Li Masters. If you're interested at all in theoretical physics, it relates the topic to far-eastern philosophies. It's really cool--and don't worry, there's no math.

If you're interested in economics/the occupy movement, one of its lead activists called David Graeber wrote a book called "Debt: the First 5000 Years" which looks at the social structures, creditor/debtor relationships, the nature of money and interest, the relationship between debt and military conquest and other fascinating things from ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia through to the present. Not technical at all, available as an E-book and a very enjoyable read.

The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver is a beautifully written and researched emotional novel about a christian missionary family moving to the Congo during the 1950's. Additionally for those interested in short stories, Professor Moglen once recommended me the book Mirrors by Eduardo Galeano which is a compilation of hybrid short story/poems some of which I find breathtaking and others I'll admit I hardly understand...
