Book review: Looking Back at Law's Century

As part of my 'summer reading', I'm trying to find books about the law that are both enjoyable and informative. Nothing that's going to revolutionise the world, nothing that's going to get me ahead on our courses, but just things to get me thinking about law and being a lawyer.

For this week's book (in between translating standards on Japanese food labeling laws) I've been reading Looking Back on Law's Century, edited by Austin Serat, Bryant Garth, and Robert A. Kagan. The main emphasis of the essays within stress the role of the legal profession in the change and continuity of American life over the last 100 years. So far I've read mostly the final essays, which focus on how the role of the lawyer has changed in the last 100 years, and more entertainingly, how the role of law professors has changed.

I'll try to post a more complete review later (or maybe I'll write a truly complete one, post it on Amazon, and link it--I can always use the $5 gift certificate), but if you're looking for something to read over the summer, you could do worse. I don't know if it's useful, but it's been enjoyable so far.

The conservation movement is a breeding ground of Communists and other
subversives. We intend to clean them out, even if it means rounding up
every bird watcher in the country.

I'm not sure if anyone else is interested, but ayn Rand has a sweet book in: The Art of Fiction.I am really enjoying it. Next I plan to find The Rhetoric of Fiction from the Oxford Press.I really like Creative Writing, but don't have a lot of time or resources to pursue it. I've always fancied writing a book, and these sorts of things get those ideas back into my head.
