Sometimes it is only when I slap my pile of reading on the table to start slogging through it when I get home, I realize how broad my interests are. To share this revelation, here is what I read today:
- Al-Kitaab fii Ta’allum al-‘Arabiyya with DVD, Kristen Brustad, Mahmoud Al-Batal, and Abbas Al-Tonsi (my Arabic textbook)
- “I am Prepared to Die”, Nelson Mandela
- About 50 pages from”Nuclear Energy: Balancing Benefits and Risks”, Charles D. Ferguson
- “Pulling the Serpent’s Tail”, a chapter from It’s our turn to eat: the story of a Kenyan whistle-blower, Michela Wrong
- About 50 pages from “Nuclear Energy: Principals, Practices and Prospects”, David Bodanky
- “Africa’s Revolutionary Deficit”, Jeremy M. Weinstein
- xkcd
- Relevant History (blog), Alex Soojung-Kim Pang (one of the 3 blogs I check most days)
- The Economist, December 19th-January 1st 2009 (I keep the older copies spread around the apartment to catch articles I don’t see on my first pass through; also for-fun reading)
- Zodiac, by Neal Stephenson (my for-fun reading)
