Reading Recommendations

Well, the holidays are over and you've got two more weeks (or so) to goof off until classes start again (unless you goof off during school like 90% of all law students). As a law student, you're most likely a recreational reader. So, Mike and I thought we could make some reading recommendations.

Russ's Recommendations

1) David Sedaris, Naked. The hilarious tales of a obsessive-compulsive homosexual and his dysfunctional family. Don't worry insecure guys. The gayest thing that he actually describes is his misplaced passion for theatre and performance art.

2) John Kennedy O'Toole, A Confederacy of Dunces. A deluded graduate student annoys everyone he encounters. Surprisingly, he didn't go to law school. A hilarious classic all the same.

3) Charles Bukowski, Post Office. A drunk womanizer details his adventures in the career he squeezed in between benders. If you liked the Kroger Chronicles you'll love this.

Mike's Recommendations

1) TV Guide: From A, A-Team, to Z, Zoolander at 3 am on HBO 4, this little book packs in all the entertainment you'll ever need during break, after break, or between breaks. I've read all the books that Russ recommended, and while I enjoyed them all immensely, nothing beats a Christmas break full of meaningless college bowl games, old, crappy moves, and reruns of TV shows from days gone by.
