lunacat, I hope you enjoy North of Beautiful and Leviathan. They were very different books, but both still enjoyable.
Zoe, the action definitely takes the front seat in Leviathan, along with the world-building, but I was happier with the characters than I was with the Uglies series. I ... I finished Westerfeld's Leviathan last night.
It's MG really. Wildly imaginative but without great depth. I reviewed it but need to add that it leaves the door open for a sequel. ... stood up and talked about their most recent books, so Robin talked about Skinned and Crashed and Scott talked about Leviathan; what they're about and where the ideas came from and the process and so on. There were even slide shows, hee.
Then they took questions, and then they signed ... ... their own blindnesse;) and are no wiser than Children, than think that all hid, by hiding their own eyes.
Hobbes, Leviathan ... by Mill and Machiavelli's {the Prince as noted above.
I would love to see Le Social Contract by Rousseau and Hobbes' Leviathan done by the society, along with perhaps Locke's Second Treatise of Civil Government and Marx's The German Ideology.
... notes that Scott Westerfeld's upcoming (October) YA novel Leviathan is steampunk. Paul Auster! Paul Auster! I read Leviathan and The Book of Illusions and now I'm reading The Brooklyn Follies. All of the books seem similar to each other, but because they're about a city I know well and feature characters that I appreciate, they suck me in. ... - Neil Shubin

... ... waiting for Neil Gaiman's next book and Terry Pratchett's next one as well (although I have so much catching up to do).
Leviathan - Scott Westerfeld
Catching Fire - Suzanne Collins
Fire - Kristin Cashore
Glad to know I'm not the only one! I'm waiting impatiently for Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld and Fire: Tales of Elemental Spirits by Robin Mckinley and Peter Dickinson, which are suppose to come out in October; The God Engines by John Scalzi, which is supposed to be out in December; A Wizard of Mars by Diane ... ... and different from other collections/selections. However, any Cambridge Texts that contain only one work, e.g. Hobbes' Leviathan, should not be listed as part of the series, because that work is not exclusive to the series.
Norton Critical Editions
I remember a debate about this ... ... cover a lot of ground.
As an example of "a chaptered book where the chapters all build on one another," take Hobbes' Leviathan. The introductory chapters set forth theories about man as an individual, first physically, and then psychologically. But nobody argues that this is a reason to ... ... upon.
With regard to the concept of lying to others versus lying to oneself, I'm reminded of the quote from Hobbe's Leviathan -
And those that deceive upon hope of not being observed, do commonly deceive themselves (the darknesse in which they believe they lye hidden, being nothing ... ... are 7 titles I would pick up:
Lolita and Utopia
Waverley, The Master and Margarita, and Of Human Bondage
Leviathan and Moll Flanders
I find the lists fairly appealing.
Edited PS: But why don't they send a long list—I mean: a concatenation of the 3 lists above—to ... ... could be read as a separate novel, as can almost all of her Alliance/Union books - they ARE connected, but only as, say, Leviathan is connected to Neuromancer, kind of.
Cyteen is VERY good. It's sequel, Regenesis, is due out in January 2009. ... gets going. I think part of the problem is the narrative style--I've only read one novel by her husband, Paul Auster (Leviathan), but they seem to have used the same distant narrator. Hustvedt's art descriptions were very effective, as was the creepy effect she built up around the young ... ... gets going.

Malthus and Smith would be most welcome, and I would also like to see Hobbes' Leviathan, which I have never read but in excerpts and summaries, but which seems to me a seminal work.
Addenda: And I would nominate as one of the first political economy titles a work which seems particularly ... ... I was completely in love with her and the chimps. It's exhaustingly detailed but well-written so far.
I just finished Leviathan by Paul Auster which I liked but not as much as I liked Brooklyn Follies! ... Exmoor
Marilyn Robinson's Housekeeping
Morrison's Beloved and Song of Solomon
Gaiman's American Gods
Auster's Leviathan and Moon Palace
Eugenides' The Virgin Suicides
And then there are The Great Gatsby, The Sound and the Fury, As I Lay Dying, The Catcher in the Rye, ... I finished Leviathan by Paul Auster this morning. Great writing, but parts of it didn't hang together for me. I'm left wondering at the motives of the main character.
