I finished Dragon Republic and started Burning God a fantasy trilogy by R. F Kuang.

I am listening to 1919 a book of Poems by Eve L. Ewing a sociologist and poet from Chicago.

I started All About Love by bell hooks (rest in power ✊)

I need to catch up on Dawn of Everything. I was doing the audiobook and it got returned >_>.

Took a break from US labor history to start David Glantz’s Stalingrad tetraology because I’ve been in a WWII mood lately

Procopius’ History of the Wars, I am on the second War and it’s very swashbuckling compared to the first. Possibly because the author was on hand personally for more events, but its got fun omens, fateful dreams, sailing adventure, shenanigans performed by the author himself…

Proccy is a great author who starts with outlines and moves into detail—he really wouldn’t be a bad place to start for late antiquity generally, before diving into more specific works. The account of the last of the Romans (he literally coined that) is probably the basis for most people’s narrative around that, with the intrigues of Aetius, the Honorius Rome/Rome (the fowl) mixup.

Taking a break from theory and trying to read all of the discworld books. I am on number 4 right now.

Finishing the Democracy Project today and may start Robert Paxton’s Anatomy of Fascism
