The Nurture Assumption: Why Children Turn Out the Way They Do
Judith Rich HarrisBo Winegard@miner49er236 @Bookbux I would recommend Plomin's "Blue Print" for a short, lucid guide to behavioral genetics. Also, if you want a more ambitious book, Judith Rich Harris's "The Nurture Assumption" is great.

Dialogues: Containing The Apology of Socrates, Crito, Phaedo, and Protagoras; With Introd. by the Translator, Benjamen Jowett
Benjamin JowettBo Winegard@JimBond6 Good question. Plato's dialogues are more compelling than any attempt to reduce his thought to a system, but some of his later dialogues are disappointing.

Paris
Hope MirrleesBo Winegard@newradcentrism @StopIdeologues Have you read Hope Mirrlees? She wrote Paris: A Poem. I think it was published in 1920. It's amazingly modern. And that was a year or two before The Wasteland.
