What are you reading?

Here's what I am reading.  Feel free to comment with what you are reading.
  • Started this week
    • Into the Black by Evan Currie. I am on p. 43.  Science fiction.
    • The Machiavellian Moment by J. G. A. Pocock. I am on p. 5. Multidisciplinary social science/history.
  • In progress this week
    • Dark Lanterns by Aaron Solomon. A mystery set in 16th century France.  Quite good!  I am on p. 278.
    • Medieval Europe by Chris Wickham.  1000 years in 250 pages.  Seems like a very good introduction to the period. I am on page 41.
    • This Idea is Brilliant edited by John Brockman.  Short essays on a wide range of ideas by experts. I am on p. 85.
    • The Mathematical Theory of Bridge by Emile Borel and Cheron Andre. Probability and bridge. Lots of math. I am on page 121.
    • Enlightenment Now by Steven Pinker. Why the Enlightenment is still important, why life is still good.  I am on p. 55.
    • 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. 579, in the Enlightenment.
  • Finished this week
    • The Cutting Edge by Jeffery Deaver.  My review
