O.k., I cannot resist. Here are my suggestions: 
 
- Thorstein Veblen: The Leisure of the Theory Class 
- Joseph A. Schumpeter: How I became Austria's greatest lover and Europe's 
greatest horseman 
- Larry Summers: The Big Sur Plus an epilogue by H. A. Rey: Curious George 
goes back the 80s 
- Friedrich A. Hayek: The long and winding road (to Stockholm) 
- Freddy Mercury: Whewell Whewell rock you 
- Joseph E. Stiglitz: Globalization and Its Discontents 
 
O.k., the last one is a bit mean and heavily biased. But I can assure you, 
I really like reading Stiglitz, believe me. 
 
The first one was inspired by a recent reading of John K. Galbraith's 
Name-dropping. If I recall it correctly, he says something like that a 
colleague of his refers to academic conferences as the leisure of the 
theory class.
