The Theory of the Leisure Class (Modern Library Classics)
Thorstein Veblen, Alan Wolfe
Saturday Is for Funerals - Unity Dow, Max Essex Alternating chapters from Unity Dow (a Kenyan judge) and Max Essex (an AIDS researcher) on the AIDS epidemic in Botswana. I found Dow's chapters far more useful and interesting than Essex's--he seems to just restate Dow's points in more stilted, academic language. This book would be particularly useful if you know a bit about AIDS but not everything.
