Summer Reading
Blessed Summer sits 48 hours away. My reading list has more-or-less come together. For your general edification or amusement, here it is:
I enjoy few things more than a writer's random journals. Such prose is particularly well-suited to random Summer days. And it's Nock.
More Nock. This one more serious, but if I want to understand Nock, I need to understand his favorite president.
My whimsical choice of the season, but chosen also for its relation to Nock. One can't understand Nock unless one understands the 1920s. This is my fun period-piece reading.
Lasch the liberal. But an honest liberal. The topic (radicals) has long interested me, but I chose this book for its, yes, connection to Nock's era.
Popper shredded science. I wonder why he's not more often embraced by Christians. Oh yeah, he also disliked Christianity. I guess I'll learn more.
Popper's biggest work. Taleb said it entranced him, yet Russell Kirk loathed it. I'm interested to know what I think about it.
A re-read. I didn't really digest is the first time around, and I want to get ready for the release of Taleb's book, Antifragile, which is due out in November.
A re-start. You can't really understand anarchy if you don't understand Nozick. I hope to have better luck with this book than I did five years ago when I first bought it.
