The Body in Pain: The Making and Unmaking of the World by Elaine Scarry

Did not finish book. Stopped at 75%.
Read from the start until you feel like you've got the point about torture, then read Part 1, Chapter 2 for a fascinating, devastating deconstruction of war and how far it functions as the ultimate method of international conflict resolution. Then stop unless you're really into creation and the body through the lens of the Christian Bible.
