What are you reading? Dec 24, 2017

Here is what I am reading now.  Share what you are reading in comments.

• A New History of Western Philosophy by Anthony Kenny. This is a very good history of the subject, well written and clear.  Kenny follows an unusual strategy in that he takes two approaches: He first covers each era in a more-or-less chronological order, then he looks at the big topics of that era in a systematic way.  I am on p. 225.
• The Great Formal Machinery Works: Theories of Deduction and Computation at the Origins of the Digital Age by Jan van Plato.  An examination of formal logic and computation.  I am on p. 87.
• High Price: A Neuroscientist's Journey of Self-Discovery that Challenges Everything you Know About Drugs and Society by Carl Hart. Why everything you know (or thought you knew) about illicit drugs is wrong. I am on p. 182. 
• I abandoned Black Flagged Redux by Steven Konkolly.
• The Language of Bridge by Kit Woolsey.  I finished this one. My review is here
• I finished Binti: Home by Nnedi Okorafor, the sequel to Binti which I reviewed here.  My review of the second book is here
• Lenin: The Man, the Dictator, the Master of Terror by Viktor Sebestyen.  I finished this, my review is here.

That's what I'm reading.  What are you reading?
