    Finished AJP Taylor's The Struggle For Mastery in Europe, 1848-1918 and China Mieville's The City and The City this week. Started Frederick Brown's For the Soul of France: Culture Wars in the Age of Dreyfus.

    Still slowly reading Bordiga at home. What is with compilations of Italian Marxists and having hundred-page introductions?

        I rewatched the adaptation, one episode whenever I finished a section. It has some things going for it but it made several significant changes I found baffling in hindsight. For example the climax at the border checkpoint is considerably better and more tense in the book.

      Oh, nice. I'm rereading Perdido Street Station. First time I kinda stopped in the middle, picked it back up later. Enjoying this read much more. I'd like to check out his other works at some point.

        I haven't read Perdido but plan to in the future. I did read Iron Council last year though and it ruled even if the setting is really weird for a newcomer.
