Purchased on surprise trips to Amherst Books, the Odyssey Bookshop, or even the Campus Center Bookstore, these books have been taunting me throughout the semester as I’ve typed away on papers or trudged through dull readings.

(I’m really excited about Ron Chernow’s Alexander Hamilton – I’m a sucker for anything related to the Founding Fathers.)
