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
