Love's Labours Lost
William Shakespeare
Delightful wordplay.

Twelfth Night
William Shakespeare
A charming revel.

A Midsummer Night's Dream
William Shakespeare
I first read this in junior high school and absolutely abhorred it, especially after seeing a particularly poor production of it at a local community college. Ah the folly of youth!

Painting in Florence and Siena after the Black Death
Millard Meiss

The Fat Girl's Guide to Life
Wendy Shanker

Fat: The Anthropology of an Obsession
edited by Don Kulick and Anne Meneley
Fascinating. This collections of essays is the best I've read on the troubling subject, perhaps because it is not a memoir and has an anthropological bent.

Fat Girl: A True Story
Judith Moore
The narrator goes out of her way to make sure the reader does not sympathize with her.

Bare: the Naked Truth about Stripping
Elizabeth Eaves
Certainly an interesting read. Eaves comes off as superficial at times.

Skinny Legs and All
Tom Robbins

Postcards from the Brain Museum : The Improbable Search for Meaning in the Matter of Famous Minds
Brian Burrell

White Teeth
Zadie Smith
Very funny, but the end ties everything together a little too neatly.

Laocoon's Body and the Aesthetics of Pain
Simon Richter
