Novel Reading in 2024

 â€” Publication: Progress in Political Economy â€” 

Following my annual practice, I have listed here my “novel” reading for 2024. This is a way of documenting what I get through in a year’s worth of reading on the commute to work, in the evenings after work, and while travelling outside of my “normal” academic reading. My use of the term “novel” reading is loosely adopted, as you will see from the list to include fiction and then really important non-fiction work I get excited to read in my spare time. As you will see, my novel reading shifted away from novels to much more academic reading in my “free time” and then back again. But that approach has been richly rewarding. This year, though, there has been less novel reading compared to previous years. Why is that? Not sure. I was commuting less – due to study leave – but also tackled some big books that left me exhausted. Charles M. Doughty’s Travels in Arabia Deserta (two volumes) was one of those experiences. It was a journey that took me in my reading from one desert setting to another in the form of the Florida Mountains in New Mexico (represented in the set image for this blog post by John Fowler from Placitas, NM) and the mesas of Arizona and Sonora with their porphyry rock fibre, mesquite, lomas, and grease-wood plains. As John C. Van Dyke says, ‘the deserts are not worthless wastes . . . they are the breathing spaces of the west’.

Democrats Need to Get Over Their Delusions

 â€” Organisation: The Claremont Institute â€” 

Since the election conservatives have assumed that the results represent a “mandate” for their political agenda, as well as a confirmation of their version of national identity. Yet in reality, the election was actually quite close, as Trump’s win margin in the popular vote is the smallest since Jimmy Carter’s in 1976.
