Sorry missed last week's post, just busy with life.

The silver lining is, I don't have to stay "still reading" for yet another week, as I finally finished Whispers Underground by Ben Aaronovitch. Book 3 of Rivers of London series.

Yet another case involving magic in London and the Police solving it.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

I've long adored Social Origins Of Dictatorship And Democracy, so I'm thinking of picking up some of Barrington Moore Jr's other work - ideally,

Injustice: The Social Bases of Obedience and Revolt

and/or

Authority and Inequality under Capitalism and Socialism: USA, USSR, and China.
