Legal Commentary

The other day Brian Leiter posted a quiz about people's favorite law bloggers, until he took it down b/c apparently some folks were gaming the poll. Screw that.  I have a far more serious question. Who are your favorite writers, qua writers, of law review articles (or, if you're not really reading law review articles these days, blog posts or books). Mind you, note that the question is not who's the smartest prawf or the most influential or even the "best" scholar or blogger that you need to read. Just: whose writing do you take sheer delight in?

 I ask because the thought crossed my mind while reading a draft of a book manuscript by our own Paul Horwitz last night. Though it's not in my area and I'm swamped by other obligations, I find Paul's prose just about close to impossible to put down. (Don't worry, though, Paul, I *will* put it down and I only started reading it for about 20 minutes at 1am before I conked out. So no fear that Ben-Ben won't get proper attention.) In any event, I have a few other people whose writing I would also nominate for consideration. Rick Hills would be up there as would Dan Kahan. To be sure, I don't agree with both of them many times but I find their extended writing, some of which is far afield from my own work, intensely engaging. In the blogosphere, I would add a few other names (not to say their scholarship isn't top drawer, but I have less occasion to read it): Kim Krawiec, David Hoffman, Christine Hurt, and Sarah Lawsky (when I can find her!). Who's on your list?
