Many times in this Law Journal space I have found delightful reading in the form of engaging reviews, as well as books they led me to. So I share a trio of my own current late-night readings, the only connection being that all three books arrived in my life simultaneously as gifts from lawyer-friends.

The first is the positively spellbinding account of Baker v. Carr, the U.S. Supreme Court decision that next year will celebrate its 50th anniversary. The book, “The End of Equality: One Person, One Vote and the Transformation of American Politics,” is by two MIT political science professors, Stephen Ansolabehere and James Snyder.
