What are you reading? March 31 2018

Here's what I am reading.  Feel free to comment with what you are reading.

• Started this week
• Exit Strategy by Kelley Armstrong. The protagonist is a former police officer who became a hitman. Now she is hunting a serial killer. Fun stuff. I am on p. 121.
• In progress this week
• Expert Hand Evaluation by August Boehm. On evaluating your hand at bridge. 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 94.
• The Reader over your Shoulder by Robert Graves. How to write well. I am on page 89.
• The House of Government by Yuri Slezkine . The Russian Revolution, but also all sorts of other things (like a comparison of Marx and Jesus).  I am on p. 180.
• Enlightenment Now by Steven Pinker. Why the Enlightenment is still important, why life is still good.  I am on p. 55.
• Sunvault: Stories of Solarpunk and eco-speculation  by Daniel Jose Older.  Solarpunk is a new and optimistic sub-genre of science fiction.  I am on p. 9
• 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. 461, slogging through the scholastics.
• Scrivener for Dummies. I am on p. 149.  Scrivener is a tool for writers. 
• The Drawing of Trump and its Postponement by Fred L. Karpin.  I am on p. 43. A classic on the play of the hand in bridge.
