| | | Semester Readings?
So, what do you plan to read this semester?  
I always love hearing what others are studying--it is often encouraging and quite humbling.
(BTW, do any of you organize your life into semesters, even though neither you nor your family members are in school? It seems the most habitual way to plan, at least for me)

That's probably about all. | I like Elizabeth Warren's works. She is one smart cookie. She was in "Maxed Out" - the debt documentary along with the famous Dave Ramsey.

My list of work reading is always changing but I can guarantee I will be knee deep in the tax regulations and probably the McKee treatise on partnership taxation.
On the personal side, we are reading through Calvin's Institutes for Sunday school; I'm studying Hebrews (with the help of John Owen's fabulous commentary) in my personal study; I'm currently reading Beloved by Toni Morrison and Ficciones by Jorge Borges (again) and plan to read Swann's Way by Marcel Proust and maybe One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

That's probably about all. | Evie: Here's a book you might be interested in: Law and Revolution: The Formation of the Western Legal Tradition by Harold J. Berman (Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 1983). This is a topic I'm interested in, although I haven't read this yet. Berman (1918-2007) was an expert in this subject. Just in case you're not familiar with it.

My current reading, in no particular order:
Milton's Creation: A Guide Through "Paradise Lost" by Harry Blamires (London: Methuen & Co., Ltd., 1971)
Total Truth: Liberating Christianity from its Cultural Captivity by Nancy Pearcey (Wheaton: Crossway Books, 2004)
The Doctrine of the Christian Life by John M. Frame; A Theology of Lordship series (Phillipsburg: P&R Publishing, 2008)
The Christian Mind by Harry Blamires (New York: The Seabury Press, 1963)
By the way, if you like English literature and would like a good introduction to its history, try: A Short History of English Literature second edition; by Harry Blamires (London: Methuen & Co., Ltd., 1984 [1974])
I guess I'm on a Blamires kick.

I spent the summer before I started law school reading stuff like this and Lawrence Friedman and all four Blackstone volumes. I can't say that any of it helped me through law school though. My advice to Evie: read your casebooks (and supplements) and on your breaks read Forster. Oh, and read anything by Amar and do it during that bankruptcy course. |
