Well, after those harrowing steamboat rides through the État indépendant du Congo bearing witness to bloodied corpses, severed hands, starving hostages, razed villages, and a rights movement mostly foroetten I think it's time for something more pleasant. A jet-setting trip to laboratories and factories to look at important compounds used in everyday products, to be precise. Vanity, Vitality, and Virility by John Emsley.
Zipping through Founding Rivals: Madison vs. Monroe, which examines the importance of the bill of rights in ensuring the US Constitution would bind the colonies together. Author relies a lot on the letters written between Madison, Monroe, and their mutual friend Thomas Jefferson. Quite readable, although in the beginning he refers to Paul Revere and Dawes as giving a warning about the British. Not only does he mention Dr. Samuel Prescott, but Prescott was also the only rider to complete his route. Dawes lost his horse, if memory serves..

Society Against the State by Pierre Clastres. It's a collection of anthropological essays about "primitive", stateless societies, challenging the traditional teleological view of social development (espoused by both liberals and Orthodox Marixsts) which poses the state as an inevitability, and that stateless societies simply haven't "achieved" that development. Some very interesting stuff in there.

well I'm not much of a reader, but with time off for spring break sunday/today I was able to read Asimov's The Gods Themselves and then also read The Hunger Games.
The God's themselves is very good sci fi, at least part II of the book. I really liked hunger games too--quick and easy and fun. Both are good reads.

Hunger Games was an excellent quick read. I thoroughly enjoyed that. Planning to see the movie this weekend.
Does it have a plot? If I remember correctly, the last one didn't. It seemed to consist of everyone being jealous of Aayla and her brilliance.

I'm about halfway through the book. It's interesting; I'm not familiar with academic cultural studies so some of the terminology is distracting me. However, there is a model, and I like the model, so I'm going to see how it finishes.
