The Wealth and Poverty of Nations: Man Is Depraved

So I’ve been on a blogging vacation. And the world kept spinning, who’d've guessed. I’m reading The Wealth and Poverty Nations by David Landes currently, and although I find the writing style obnoxious, the history and the books is fascinating and his ideas about the history worth chewing on.

Is Nick gay in The Great Gatsby?

These past five weeks I’ve been (thus far successfully) engaged in a project to finish a book a week. Not necessarily read a book cover to cover every week, but that one of the books I’m reading transitions from my nightstand to my bookshelf.

Critical Mass and the White Moderate

Ok, we’ve got some different threads going on here, I think they all tie together but let’s just see how that plays out. If I were a talented writer, I’d be able to weave all of these different link into a beautiful, poly-paragraphic blog post. As I am instead an uneducated boor, here’s what you [ READ MORE ]
