Saint Jack (1979)

There must be a German word for when you come across a work of art so unexpectedly brilliant that you feel almost nervous to discover some defect, some reason why you hadn't heard of it until now - and then another German word, for when you realize there is none, and that we must always take care not to forget the gems of our past.

Seeing Like a State by James C. Scott

This historical treatise has a lot of notoriety but I found it unnecessarily dense, and ultimately flawed, in that its focus on states and state power ignores a related discussion of capitalist power, such that altho there is a useful perspective to glean here about how a drive for social legibility can transform a society, I wouldn't recommend the book overall.
