What are some good sociology books to read?

What are some good books to read that are related to sociology? I do not need college textbook titles. I need names of real books. Thanks a lot!

What are some good sociology books to read?
I would like to suggest any of Studs Terkels oral histories. Hearing the voices of real people talking about their real lives brings the face of humanity home. My personal favorite is Working but I've never read a bad one.


Barbara Ehrenreich's Nickel %26amp; Dimed is an astonishing book also. She went and got low end blue-collar jobs and did what she had to to live off the wages. Brave and true. Check it out.

Reply:Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs by Chuck Klosterman is good and pretty funny.





Killing Yourself to Live, same author, if you want to focus on rock stars.





Sex and the City by Candace Bushnell, the original book that spawned the series and resulting madness, is listed as a sociology title.





Barack Obama's books are sociology as well, if you're in to politics.
