Question

what are some good booksto read if you plan to pursue a career in Law/Politics?

Answer 1

read "1L" before going to law school

Answer 2

The Prince by Machiavelli

Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand

History of the United States

Generally history and philosophy... these would be good starters in my opinion.  

Answer 3

Begin with reading the constitution... and if you can't make to the end of all the amendments before being bored out of your mind then find a new career...  Seriously- reading the whole constitution will prepare you for all the reading you'll have to do in college!
