I'm a Law Student starting in the fall at CU Boulder. I am currently in Western New York, where I grew up, and my reading during college and since that time reflects my legal interests, my love for the classics, and my interest in history and world affairs. I love talking with people about all kinds of interesting topics, and to read widely. I would appreciate suggestions from those who know about innovations in science of books about discoveries and theories which are written for laymen to understand.
I'll occasionally listen to audio books, but I really like holding the paper in my hands. I think Kindle is interesting, but I'm really not sure if it is the same as holding a think novel of Count Tolstoy's or Alexandre Dumas's in your hands and feeling its weight. I like news magazines, NPR, and The New York Times, and usually access those online.
I'm open to feedback and always to learning new things. If a book really changed your life, I'd like to hear about it. I'm steering away from Legal Thought from the summer, because I'd like to read some classic novels and enjoy my reading before I do it in Law School. « less
