            I was going to email Eben to ask if he had any recommendations for books to read over the summer and I realized other people might be interested as well. Hopefully not only Eben, but we all, can post book recommendations here.

 I recommend Ill Fares the Land, by Tony Judt, which is relevant to some of the discussions we've had in class. Three of my favorite non-law related books are Memoirs of a Dutiful Daughter, by Simone de Beauvoir; Memoirs of Hadrian, by Marguerite Yourcenar; and Call it Sleep, by Henry Roth. All 3 are the kind of books that demand more attention than it would have been possible for me to give non-school reading during 1L year, but they are so worth it. This summer I'm planning on reading Masha Gessen's biography of Vladimir Putin and Andrey Kurkov's novel Death and the Penguin (plus any great recommendations I get from this thread).

 Thanks for the recommendations guys. Jared - I've also heard that The New Jim Crow is great and plan to read it this summer. Michelle Alexander used to be the Racial Justice Project Director at the ACLU of Northern California, and when I interned there the staff told me all about her amazing work. For those interested in the environment and our eating choices, Michael Pollan's The Omnivore's Dilemma is very interesting. Last summer I had a Faulkner phase - I feel as though The Sound and the Fury is always a good summer read. For poetry, one of my favourites is Baudelaire's Fleurs du Mal.
