Pleasure of Texts
 
Books are a significant feature of my life.  Bookshelves loom large in my bedroom.  These are some books that I rate:
 

 
The book I wish I'd written Distinction: A Social Critique of the Judgement of Taste Pierre Bourdieu
An ethnography with guts Death Without Weeping: The Violence of Everyday Life in Brazil Nancy Scheper-Hughes
Wicked fiction I The Tin Drum Günter Grass
Wicked fiction II The Information Martin Amis
Compendious Work I Arts and Crafts of Hawai'i Peter Buck
Compendious Work II The Golden Bough James Frazer
