Rebel cities by David Harvey.

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.

But to fill the time in between, I think I will rent one of Pat Buchanans many books from the library.

Or you could, you know, read something good.
I could always read 50 Shades of Gray when my mom is done with it. Tongue

"Don't knock Fifty shades," I said, as I cocked my head to the right and bit my lip. I was turning eighteen shades of blush. I took a sip of my favorite English Twinnings tea and thought about my next flight to Seattle.

I'm listening to Tom Delay's autobiography on audiobook. As much as I detest what he did politically, he had a pretty interesting life.

My history teacher gave me an extra copy of a Jefferson biography that he was given. One I'm done with "Fear and Loathing: On the Campaign Trail '72" I guess I'll start it.

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.

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.
