The Theory of the Leisure Class (Modern Library Classics)
Thorstein Veblen, Alan Wolfe
Gods' Concubine: Book Two of The Troy Game (Troy Game (Tor)) - Sara Douglass Trashy covers and ridiculous titles ("God's Concubine"? puhlease) predisposed me to discount these, but their emphasis on character development, and the healthy splashes of almost-realistic history, made me like them despite myself. There *are* some trashy bits--the sex scenes are by and large romance-novel-y, and sometimes the female characters get locked into the "strong, beautiful, and quietly commanding" niche. Regardless, I find myself excited about reading the third and final novel, which promises to answer the question of who has survived through the centuries--and who will triumph.
