It's time to choose your winter reading... whether you use the holidays to amuse yourself or to improve yourself
Article Abstract:
The winter 1997 crop of legal literature seems to contain more serious non-fiction than popular books, but it may only be a matter of time before the next best-seller by Scott Turow or John Grisham appears. A list of annotatated suggestions is given. Non-fiction wins out over fiction by almost two to one. These non-fiction books are on topics such as Jim Bakker, the law pertaining to cyberspace, and same-sex marriage.
