Ideology and Congress by Poole and Rosenthal - I may be doing a book review on Tuesday in Morning Feature. A fascinating look at both how to measure ideology and how it has shifted over the years
Godel, Escher, Bach - the going is getting heavy, the crowds are getting scarce, but I keep plugging away, every Sunday morning.
Peter the Great by Robert Massie. Peter, almost alone, brought Russia from a medieval society to the modern world.
A Fire Upon the Deep by Vernor Vinge. Space opera. Millions of worlds, aliens abound, huge stakes ... good stuff
A History of Western Philosophyby Bertrand Russell. A great survey.
Confess Fletch! by Gregory McDonald. Nothing profound here. Irwin Maurice Fletcher is visiting Boston. Then he finds a dead woman in the apartment he's borrowing. Quick reading, nice plot, and interesting characters, especially Flynn. Lots of twists in the plot.
The Enlightment: An anthology by Peter Gay. I found this at a used book stand near me. Just started; it's interesting.
The Monty Hall Problem by Jason Roundhouse. A wonderful book on this notorious problem. Oxford UP sent me a reading copy; it's due out in early July. I will write a diary on the Monty Hall problem and this book on Wednesday's morning feature.
