The Wright Brothers

David McCullough · Buy on Amazon

Presumed Innocent

""Presumed Innocent" was one of my favorite legal thrillers even before the movie (starring Harrison Ford)"

One L

Scott Turow · Buy on Amazon

"the best book I have ever read about law school is Turow's "One L," which perfectly captures the absurdity of law students' obsessive self-flagellation and their insatiable, impossible drive for affirmation."

Yes Please

"The last book that made me laugh out loud was Amy Poehler's "Yes Please," which also includes a fair amount of helpful life advice, so — bonus! — I felt productive reading it."

Bridget Jones's Diary

Helen Fielding · Buy on Amazon
