 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.
Line: 153 to 153
 I haven't had the opportunity to read it yet, but The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander comes highly recommended from several people. It seems like the kind of "interesting legal thinking" about the mass incarceration system that we've been drawn to in class.

>		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).
