Newsweek’s ongoing book-recommendation list features the selections of Journalism Dean Orville Schell. It’s really a spot where writers can plug their own book, so just know that Schell has a book out. But what does he recommend?

1. “The Best and the Brightest” by David Halberstam
2. “Imperial Life in the Emerald City” by Rajiv Chandrasekaran
3. “The Trial” by Franz Kafka
4. “The Peloponnesian War” by Thucydides
5. “The Selected Stories of Li Xun”

And the kicker,

 An Important Book you haven’t gotten around to reading: Any excellent new book that helps assess the challenges of global climate change … even if it’s by Al Gore.
