The Embarrassment of Riches: An Interpretation of Dutch Culture in the Golden Age by Simon Schama

Interesting and highly-praised portrait of Dutch society and psychology during their period of commercial per-eminence. Perhaps fuel for interesting parallels with modern American ideas and attitudes.

The Seduction of Place: The History and Future of the City by Joseph Rykwert

This is a bok about the inter-relationship of individuals with the cities they inhabit, and how said cities might develop.

Before European Hegemony: The World System A.D. 1250-1350 by Janet L. Abu-Lughod

This is a wide-ranging economic hostory book about the situation that existed before the rise of Europe. I’m very interested in this development and how and why Europe rose to per-eminence.

In order of my preference:
1) Any of the “Love and Rockets” books I don’t have yet: “X,” “Fear of Comics,” or “Hernandez Satyricon.” Info here: http://www.fantagraphics.com/artist/lr/lrgn/lrgn.html
Not technically “books” really, but hey.

2) Richard Brookhiser’s bios of George Washington or the Adams family.

3) _The Weight of Glory_ by CS Lewis

4) Anything by Hernando de Soto

5) Christopher Hitchens, _Orwell’s Victory_

6) _Jewish Perspectives on the Experience of Suffering_, ed. Shalom Carmy

7) Stanley Fish, _Surprised by Sin_

Can’t hurt to ask! Let me know what transpires, as I’d be interested to see what gets reviewed.
