I will post what I'm reading in the comments.
@EnopoletusHarding Finished chapter 1 (pig and fish dietary rules); now up to p. 50.
@EnopoletusHarding Now on p. 52. The starting point was good, but this book reminds me why I don't recommend Very Short Introductions.
Reading Bernie Sanders's "It's OK to Be Angry About Capitalism" up to p. 82 of 309.
@EnopoletusHarding At this point, I have concluded Bernie Sanders is a moron (though this is more apparent in the "Guide to Political Revolution").
@EnopoletusHarding Next books I plan to read are Che Guevara's "Guerilla Warfare" and Park Chung Hee's "Our Nation's Path". After that, the Amulet of Samarkand and the Analects of Confucius. After that the Zhuangzi and Harvey's Brief History of Neoliberalism.
