Martha Minow Some of my favorite books include: Norton Juster, The Phantom Tollbooth (a children's book that explores life's purposes, war, language, mathematics, and friendship). Martha Nussbaum, The Fragility of Goodness (a work interpreting classical Greek plays and philosophies and compelling relevance to contemporary debates over justice and ethics). James Baldwin, The Fire Next Time (one of the most searing and thoughtful inquiries into American race relations). Elizabeth V. Spelman, Fruits of Sorrow (an original investigation into why and how some people's suffering secures attention and other people's suffering does not). Robert Cover, Justice Accused (this book addresses why antebellum judges who opposed slavery nonetheless felt powerless to do anything but enforce it). The Collected Stories of Peter Taylor, (depicting vivid worlds of families, professionals, and moral choices). Return to the Writers Read List
