A must read for sociology dummies.
A rich introduction to sociology theories.
If you don't fall asleep while reading it, once you finish you will be able to understand a thing or two about sociology... i.e. the real 'science' of "sociology" :)

This reader covers a broad range of topics to give a nice overview of sociology. The technology readings are really outdated though.
