Clearly the blogosphere is my world.

So, the first court case i read the entire way through (i had intentions on Goodrige, really) was the 7th Circuit appeal of the Gaiman/McFarlane case [PDF format], reading over the shoulder of my father (who says Posner is a good one to start with, due to his clear writing style).

Did i read the decision when Neil linked to it on his blog? Of course not. I was aware of the case thanks to reading Neil's blog, but had mostly been skimming the portions of his blog that talked about it. Nope, tonight my father saw blogger Julian Sanchez mention it and asked me who Todd McFarlane was, pulling me out of my room and into ultimately reading the case alongside him.

At least you'll never be in a class going "The last time I read Roe v. Wade..." and realize that was in your pleasure reading.

I read Posner a lot, mostly for my Torts class. He's definitely clear, and seriously knows the law. It's sort of interesting to see the differences between Judge Posner and Professor Posner (he writes in both roles).

But Goodridge is worth getting through, really, I swear. :)
