Screaming Bean
Friday, August 11, 2006

I like to read. I guess that's a given if you go to law school, but recreationally, I've been a voracious reader for decades. (Oooh, how old do I sound there.) Studying for the Bar puts a definite dent in the free reading department. I don't dare read real live books during the studying, because it'll just take up precious brain cells that I need for "benefit of the bargain" and "assumption of the risk" (both of which came up in conversation in the last two days, go fig). However, I'm back in the free reading game, and with it I picked a humdinger of a book. You may have heard of The Interpretation of Murder: A Novel by Jed Rubenfeld because Mr. Rubenfeld is the incoming deputy dean of the law faculty at Yale. This is his debut novel, and all I can say is WOW! For a man who is known for such books as Revolution by Judiciary: The Structure of American Constitutional Law, I was expecting a dry and methodical writing style. But, this is a riveting historical fiction novel with a crime plot that kept me intrigued the entire way through. Crime books usually don't do it for me, but this book had turn of the century New York, Sigmund Freud, murder, repressed sexuality, and then some. It comes out September 6, and I highly recommend it.
