 Sam Waksal's book club: Convicted ImClone CEO Sam Waksal is, apparently, reading other things than his friend Martha Stewart's magazine. According to a hilarious story in The New Yorker the Jewish businessman is spending his jail time reading a slew of Jewish-themed books. The publication looked at Waksal's Amazon.com wish list (both here and here) to find out that he would like to read the following books in prison: Hannah Arendt and the Jewish Question by Richard J. Bernstein; Studies in Medieval Jewish History and Literature III edited by Isadore Twersky and Jay M. Harris; Medieval Stereotypes and Modern Anti-Semitism by Robert Chazan; Judeophobia: Attitudes Toward the Jews in the Ancient World by Peter Schafer; A People Apart: A Political History of the Jews in Europe 1789-1939 by David Vital; and The Legends of the Jews, Notes for Volumes Three and Four: From Moses to Esther by Louis Ginzberg. Also on Waksal's wish list are four Kabbalah commentaries and seven volumes of Adin Steinsaltz's translation and interpretation of the Talmud.
Guess being locked up for seven years for committing securities fraud with Martha Stewart is enough to make anyone do some serious repentance.
