As any self-respecting book person will say, I love Penguin's Great Ideas series. Look at them! Each cover is its own unique perfection. What's most appealing to me is that every cover has a completely different design aesthetic from the other. The style usually reflects the period/author, but reinterpreted with modern design sense. A prime example is Travels in the Land of Kubilai Khan by Marco Polo.
I really have no excuse for not reading these already (except the specter of Emily Bronte hovering over my head). I am also extremely irreverent, and would probably make fun of Thoreau in the margins. Not paying taxes: passive resistance, or philosophical douchebaggery? You decide.
