What are your five favorite books, and why?
1. Happiness: A Guide to Developing Life's Most Important Skill
2. The Power of Positive Thinking
3. Murder on the Orient Express
4. And Then There Were None
5. Bourdieu in International Relations
I have many favorite books but if I were forced to choose, this would be it. The last book on the list is curious because it is, strictly speaking, neither fiction nor non-fiction. It's inclusion is due to the French thinker's impact on my own academic work.
What do you read for pleasure?
Mystery novels and thrillers
