Agree, Amusing Ourselves to Death is really good. I like the idea about how reading books impacts how deep we think. Also His comparison of the Lincoln Douglas debates to modern presidential debates. Not a long read either, about 200 pages I think. I bought a copy from a bookstore closing, which fits the theme of the book sadly.
