Thoughts? I've read a few of Harvey's short pieces for class, and A Brief History of Neoliberalism has been on my reading list for a while.

I have read Harvey's Brief history of Neoliberalism and older Social Justice and the City (1975) and now I'm reading that Rebel cities to get ideas for campaign for city council. I just started rebel cities and I have liked so far. I like Harvey's books much and one thing that has something to do with is that I study human geography in the university.

Hana monogatari by Yoshiya Nobuko, the first whole text in Japanese I've attempted to read. I'm understanding about a third to half of it.

Great Choice! Grin

As for me, I just finished Dr. Thompson's "Fear & Loathing: On the Campaign Trail '72". Now I'm on to a huge book on Thomas Jefferson.

It's pretty good; I have a whole box of Middle East books I'm reading this summer and it was the first I picked up.

Just finished the following two books:





Currently reading through the Fountainhead and the Satanic Verses. I also picked up The Road and Fast Food Nation today and will likely read one of them while I'm away.

The Nyāyasūtrabhāśya (Illumination of the Aphorisms on Logic), a 4th century commentary on the original treatise outlining ancient Hindu logic and epistemology.  Its authorship is attributed to Vātsyāyana, who is, according to legend, the same man who wrote the Kāmasūtra.

I started the 6000 page series of "Game of Thrones" yesterday, in ENGLISH.

Have read about 50 so far. So, if current trends hold, I'll finish the series in about 4 months.

Wink

(I somehow read the English Harry Potter books much faster when they came out, took me only 1 or 2 nights to read them)

I had that book recommended to me elsewhere recently, will consider checking that out.

I've read many, many, many books lately, but at the moment I'm almost done with Tim Blanning's 700-page The Pursuit of Glory, a history of Europe 1648-1815.  It's...amazingly detailed, to the point of having a 30 page chapter on changes in gardening and hunting.

Great book. Ages since I read it though.

I'm currently reading Homosexuality and Civilization by Louis Crompton.
