It’s December, and so I am now taking recommendations for books to read in 2010. Leave a comment with a book you think I ought to read next year. Especially interesting for a variety of reasons: books on urbanism, accessible tomes on philosophy (particularly Heidegger, Arendt, de Beauvoir, and the “trinity” of postmodern theorists), literary theory, biographies, poetry, literacy/language, and the practice of writing. I’m pretty good at finding fiction and essays, but you can recommend something if you really liked it.

(Nothing with vampires in it, please.)
