Gift Books

Since the holiday season is upon us, this time I'd like to know: What is your favorite book that you received as a gift? Tell us above in Ink.

As a graduate student in sociology at the University of Chicago, author Sudhir Venkatesh gained entrance into one of Chicago's largest street gangs.
