I am always interested in the books that other academics are hoping to read. Recently Princeton released the summer reading that a handful are hoping to tackle this Summer. From those recommendations, I have highlighted the following for my own list:
From AnneMarie Luijendijk’s list:
- Carol Harrison, The Art of Listening in the Early Church
- Lance Jenott and Hugo Lundhaug, The Monastic Origins of the Nag Hammadi Codices
- Yii-Jan Lin, The Erotic Life of Manuscripts: New Testament Textual Criticism and the Biological Sciences (Selling for $5 on Amazon.com, really?)
From Matthew Salganik’s list:
- Blown to Bits: Your Life, Liberty, and Happiness After the Digital Explosion, by Hal Abelson, Ken Ledeen and Harry Lewis
- Addiction by Design: Machine Gambling in Las Vegas, by Natasha Dow Schüll
- Delete: The Virtue of Forgetting in the Digital Age, by Viktor Mayer-Schönberger
The post My book picks from Princeton Profs’ Summer Reading appeared first on Joshua L Mann.
