As the semester winds down, you might be thinking about reading something “light” but still a bit sociological…If so, here are some nonfiction and fiction books that I enjoyed:

• The age of American unreason / Susan Jacoby

• Limbo : blue-collar roots, white-collar dreams / Alfred Lubrano

• The big sort : why the clustering of like-minded America is tearing us apart / Bill Bishop and Robert G. Cushing

• One drop : my father’s hidden life–a story of race and family secrets / Bliss Broyard

• Cane River / Lalita Tademy

• Middlesex / Jeffrey Eugenides

• The inner circle / T. Coraghessan Boyle
